 Redirects are used to point one article to another, effectively giving a single article several names.  Reasons to use a redirect include:
-* Common abbreviations  ([[DSM-IV]] redirects to [[Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders]])
+* Common abbreviations  ([[B&B]] redirects to [[Bed and Breakfasts]])
-* Alternate capitalization ([[Mcdonald's]] redirects to [[McDonald's]]) (Note: when searching, the case is usually ignored. These redirects are useful when two articles share the same name but with different cases, for example the separate articles [[CAVA]] and [[cava]].)
+* Alternate names ([[Boatbuilders]] redirects to ‎[[Squerarioli]])
-* Alternate names ([[Linear operator]] redirects to [[Linear map]])
+* Accents ([[Arzana]] redirect to [[Arzanà]])
-* Accents ([[Arzana]] redirect to [[Kurt Gödel]])
+* Multiple spellings ([[Colonnina]] redirects to [[Colonnine]])
