Redirects are used to point one article to another, effectively giving a single article several names. Reasons to use a redirect include:
- Common abbreviations (B&B redirects to Bed and Breakfasts)
- Alternate names (Boatbuilders redirects to Squerarioli)
- Accents (Arzana redirect to Arzanà)
- Multiple spellings (Colonnina redirects to Colonnine)
To complete a redirect:
1) Type the title of the page you want to redirect into the Search bar
2) If the page name does not exist, click to create the page
3) Insert the code #REDIRECT followed by the title of the page you think should also be associated with the page
See an example below
