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.

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:


#Redirect [[Alchemy]]


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.
