In general
[edit]- 'Murder' on Google leads to abortion site. "There have been several Google-bombing incidents in the past that you may have heard of:
- During the 2004 presidential election, results for the phrase "miserable failure" led to George W. Bush's biography, while searches for "waffles" pointed to John Kerry's official website.
- Back in 1999, a search for "more evil than satan himself" would bring people to the Microsoft web site."

Re-directs
[edit]- [Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages]
- Reason why a link refers back to that same page (redirect): [Oklahoma Aviation and Space Hall of Fame]] refers to [Science Museum Oklahoma]], e.g., [:Category:Aviation halls of fame]]
- To ensure that a redirect will not break if a section title gets altered, or to create a redirect to a point on the page other than a section heading, create an explicit target anchor in the page, e.g. by using the {{anchor}} template. The anchor text will not be visible (unless the {{visible anchor}} template is used), but it will serve as a permanent marker of that place on the page. Editors should generally not remove or alter such anchors without checking all incoming links and redirects.
- For example, in the [Google search]] article, the text {{anchor|Calculator}} is placed at the point where Google Calculator is described. The title [Google Calculator]] can then be redirected to [Google search#Calculator]].
- e.g., [Mel Ott Award]] uses: #redirect [Mel Ott#melottaward]]{{R to anchor}}
- This takes you to the first appearance of the words "melottaward" in the section
- [Wikipedia:Redirect #Targeted and untargeted redirects]]:
==Vaccine overload== <!-- linked from redirect [[Vaccine overload]] -->
Section link
[edit]- Can add additional words and italics, as below:
- See: {section link|Baseball awards|United States}}
