Redirects

Setting up redirects on MediaWiki is straightforward. Here are the steps:

1. Create a New Page:
   • Navigate to the page you want to create a redirect for. For example, if you want to redirect "Meeting Room" to "Conference Room," go to the "Meeting Room" page.
2. Add Redirect Code:
   • Edit the page and add the following code: #REDIRECT [[Conference Room]]
   • This code tells MediaWiki to redirect anyone who visits the "Meeting Room" page to the "Conference Room" page.
3. Save the Page:
   • Save your changes. Now, when users visit the "Meeting Room" page, they will be automatically redirected to the "Conference Room" page.

Example

If you want to redirect "Meeting Room" to "Conference Room":

1. Go to the "Meeting Room" page.
2. Edit the page and add: #REDIRECT [[Conference Room]]
3. Save the page.

Additional Tips

• Double Redirects: Avoid creating redirects that point to another redirect. MediaWiki does not follow multiple redirects.
• Viewing Redirects: When a redirect is followed, a small notice below the page title indicates that you arrived indirectly.
