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 misspellings (Condoleeza Rice redirects to Condoleezza Rice)
- Alternate spellings (Al-Jazeera redirects to Al Jazeera)
- 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 (Linear operator redirects to Linear map)
- Accents (Kurt Goedel and Kurt Godel redirect to Kurt Gödel)
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
