This may serve as some help to those of you who are unsure of how to create redirects (i.e: when someone searches for "alch" and there exists a page for Alchemy they will see a page does not exist page, however you can create a page that redirects a search for "alch" to the Alchemy page.
#REDIRECT [[Help:How To Make Redirects]]
 
[[Image:redirect1.gif|right|thumb|500px| Example search result for "alch"]]
 
 
To accomplish this, first you would search for "alch", then you would choose create this page.
 
You would then add the following code to the "alch" page:
 
----
<code><nowiki>#Redirect [[Alchemy]]</nowiki></code>
----
 
Now whenever a user searched for the term "alch" they would get the Alchemy page instead.
 
This has many, many practical uses and serves to make navigating a good wiki much more streamlined, so when you create a page that has common abbreviations, consider redirecting those abbreviations to your intended content page.
