To cause a page to redirect to another, enter this code and nothing else into the article:

#REDIRECT{url}

Here, {url} is replaced with any standard Wikipedia link, such as:

#REDIRECT[http://www.mfgg.net]
#REDIRECT[[ShadowMan]]

This is used primarily for allowing for common spelling errors or aliases. For instance, Delmore has also been known as Admiral Delmore and Yoshiguy, and they will all lead to the same article.

This is also useful for adding a redirect to a page in the User: namespace. For instance, if you click on the link leading to User:123James, you will be redirected to 123James, as there is no point to giving the same member 2 pages.
