Redirects

Leonard et al,

What's the best way to go about making page redirects?
Or if it's not too involved, there should be a redirect from the publisher G. Flaxland re-directing to the Durand page.

[Leonard Vertighel]

To create a redirect, you simply create a page containing

Code: Select all

#redirect[[TARGET]]

replacing TARGET with the title of the page you want to redirect to.

This syntax should also be used when the content of a page is merged into another. That way, the links that were pointing to the old page (both internal to the wiki and from external sites) will still work.

When pages are moved (with the "move" link at the top of the page), a redirect from the old title is created automatically, so in this case you don't need to worry about redirecting.

The exception with the "move" command, I gather, is when the target (i.e., "new") page-name already exists.
