Redirects are pages that automatically send the user to a different page.

Creating a redirect

Creating a redirect is simple, being just a page with nothing but #REDIRECT[[target page]]. Redirects should be made for:

  • Official names that are not the page's title
  • Common abbreviations of names
  • Official typos
  • Unpluralized versions of pages with plural titles

Uneeded redirects

Redirects should not be made for the following:

  • File/Template/Talk pages
  • Userpages (unless it is a subpage of a non-redirect page or it was created from a renaming)
  • Pages with qualifiers
  • Fan names (heavily used fan names based on the official name may be allowed)
  • Unofficial typos
