New page

A '''redirect''' is a way to let a page have multiple names. It is most commonly used to point to subsections or subtopics within a page, so that one can link directly to these subsections/subtopics, and [[what links here]] remains an accurate guide to conceptual linkage and [[topic association]]. To create a redirect, replace the page content with something like:

:<nowiki>#REDIRECT[[main neutral page name]]</nowiki>

The so-called "[[pipe trick]]" is a way to avoid creating redirects, but it is controversial as it encourages proliferation of many phrases to introduce the same article, which are usually idiosyncratic. Many think a few [[factionally defined]] '''redirect'''s are a much better way to deal with pages that have different implications to different people - see [[anchor text]] and [[wiki linking]] for more on this.
