How to make a redirect (redirect command)

To redirect a page A (the redirecting page) to a different page B (the target page), enter the following redirecting command at the top of the redirecting page.

#REDIRECT [[NAME OF PAGE B]]

For example, to redirect the bangbros.com page ( redirecting page ) to the Bang Bros page (target page), edit Bangbros.com page and enter:

#REDIRECT [[Bang Bros]]

You can also redirect to page sections within an article.

#REDIRECT [[Bangbros.com#History]]

Redirects to anchors should be used sparingly as the user no longer sees the helpful "(redirected from... )" text at the top of the page. However, redirecting to a heading with the same name as the redirecting page seems rather safe, try for example "Argument from contingency". If the section name changes, the redirect will simply lead to the top of the target article.

Undesirable redirects

Do not make double redirects (a redirect that points to another redirect); they do not work (to prevent endless looping, a redirect will not "pass thru" more than one entry; if someone is redirected to a redirect, the chain stops at the first redirect), they create slow, unpleasant experiences for the reader, and they make the navigational structure of the site confusing.

Double redirects are usually created after a move when old redirects are left unchanged and pointing toward an old name.

Another type of undesirable redirect is a self-redirect: an article that redirects to itself through a redirect.

Creating new redirects

You can create a new page in order to make a redirect.

Only the redirect line will be displayed when you save the page.

To go back and edit your redirect after it is working, add ?redirect=no to the end of the URL for your redirect:

http://wikiporno.org/w/index.php?title=Bangbros.com&redirect=no

If you wish to add a reason, select one of the tags from the Tag column below and add it one space after and on the same line as #REDIRECT [[Wherever]]. For example, on the redirect page Bangbros.com,

#REDIRECT [[Bang Bros]] {{domain name search}} 

That will also add the redirect to the category listed in the Category column below. Note that there must be a space between the end of the redirect code and the template code for this to work properly.

Redirects take effect immediately after saving a page.
