Help:Redirects

From STOwiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Redirects sent a user that has arrived at one page to another.

Redirects are used when there are several possible titles for a page.

Syntax: #redirect [[Page to Redirect to]]


One example: Abbreviations such as STO would redirect to their full form, in this case, Star Trek: Online.

Code: #redirect [[Star Trek: Online]]

You can see the result when you go to the STO page.


To edit a redirect page, append "&redirect=no" to the end of the url.

Code: [http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~starmada/wiki/stonline/index.php?title=STO&redirect=no STO]
Result: STO


Other examples:

  • Plurals: Ships redirect to Ship.
  • Related Words.
  • Common misspellings.
