What do we use redirects for?

Redirects should be used for abbreviations, misspellings, other spellings/punctuations, other capitalizations, other nicknames, and so on.

Redirection pages are pages that automatically link to another page. You may want to have a redirection page for any of the following reasons.

  • There are different ways of writing the article title, but only one article,
  • The article is in a different namespace.
  • The title has been misspelled,
  • Two articles have been merged into one,
  • The paged has been moved using the move page feature.
