A '''redirect''' is a special type of article that sends the reader to another article. They are used when there are different names for the same subject. |
|||
For example, there is an article about the [[United Kingdom]], which is often referred to as the "UK". So the page [[UK]] is a redirect; following that link will take you to [[United Kingdom]] instead. |
|||
To create a redirect, create a page at the title you want to point somewhere else, consisting only of the text: |
|||
<pre><nowiki> |
|||
#REDIRECT [[Name of article]] |
|||
</nowiki></pre> |
|||
Replace "Name of article" with the article you want that title to point to. |
|||
If you can't create pages, you can '''[[Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects|request a redirect]]''' instead. |
