A redirect is a page created specifically to take a searcher straight to another article, even without the accurate name. They can be used in a variety of situations to help the users of this wiki.

How to redirect

To make a redirect page, the page which will be redirecting must be created. To redirect it to a selected page, simply write #REDIRECT [[Target page name]] in it.

Example

An example of this would be XP Tokens. As you now, there are 4 of these.

Major combat XP token
Major skilling XP token
Minor combat XP token
Minor skilling XP token

Rather than make 4 separate pages for this, 2 main pages exist, called Skilling xp token and Combat xp token. If you click on any of the 4 pages, they will automatically redirect you.

Editing an existing redirect

Editing a redirect page is like editing any other page: the trick comes in finding the redirect page itself and not its target.

To access an existing redirect page, search for the redirect title (example "Skilling xp token"). When the target page appears, a note underneath the target page's title will say something similar to "(Redirected from Major skilling XP token)". Clicking on the link in this notice will take you to the redirect page itself which can then be edited as normal.

Alternatively, ?redirect=no can be appended to a URL that redirects.
