It is also possible to add a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Section" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Section">section</a> header to make a redirect to a specific section of the target page in the following manner: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-wikitext mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="k">#REDIRECT</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">[[</span><span class="nt">Target</span><span class="p">#</span><span class="nt">Section header</span><span class="p">]]</span> </pre></div> <p>The pound/number/hash sign (#) is also used to link to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Anchor" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Anchor">page anchors</a>. </p><p>Usually, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RCAT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RCAT">redirect maintenance categories</a> should also be added. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Syntax" data-mw-thread-id="h-Syntax"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Syntax"></span>Syntax<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Syntax"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Syntax","replies":[]}}--></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="Wikipedia:Hard_redirect"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Hard_redirect&redirect=no">Wikipedia:Hard redirect</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>A page is treated as a redirect page if its <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikitext" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Wikitext">wikitext</a> begins with <code>#REDIRECT</code> followed by a valid <a href="/wiki/Help:Link" title="Help:Link">wikilink</a> or <a href="/wiki/Help:Interwiki" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Interwiki">interwikilink</a>. A space is usually left before the link. (Note that some alternative capitalizations of "REDIRECT" are possible.) </p><p>Note that a redirect works as intended (takes the reader directly to the target page) only if the link is to an existing normal page (not a <a href="/wiki/Help:Special_page" title="Help:Special page">special page</a>) on the same project (English Wikipedia). In other cases soft redirects are often used – see <a href="#Soft_redirects">below</a>. </p><p>Examples: </p> <ul><li><code>#REDIRECT [[France]]</code> (redirects to the <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a> article)</li> <li><code>#REDIRECT [[France#History]]</code> (redirects to the "History" section of the <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a> article)</li> <li><code>#REDIRECT [[fr:France]]</code> (appears as a redirect to the <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a> article on French Wikipedia, but does not work as a true redirect)</li></ul> <p>Any text appearing after the redirect link is ignored in the display, but may be used to add categories, interwiki links, comments, etc. </p><p>Note that the redirect link must be explicit – it cannot contain <a href="/wiki/Help:Magic_word" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Magic word">magic words</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Template" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Template">templates</a>, etc. </p><p>When redirecting to a <a href="/wiki/Help:Category" title="Help:Category">category</a> page, prefix the target pagename with a colon to prevent the redirect from showing up in the category. (Redirects from one category page to another should use soft redirects – see <a href="#Soft_redirects">below</a>.) Redirects to <a href="/wiki/Help:Image" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Image">image</a> pages also require the colon. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="How_it_appears_to_the_user" data-mw-thread-id="h-How_it_appears_to_the_user"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-How_it_appears_to_the_user"></span>How it appears to the user<span data-mw-comment-end="h-How_it_appears_to_the_user"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-How_it_appears_to_the_user","replies":["h-Section_redirects-How_it_appears_to_the_user"]}}--></div> <p>If the redirect target is an existing page on English Wikipedia and a reader navigates to the redirect page – by <a href="/wiki/Help:Link" title="Help:Link">wikilink</a>, the search box, or a <a href="/wiki/Help:URL" title="Help:URL">URL</a> – the reader is taken directly to the target page.

Simply type in the wikitext <code>#REDIRECT [[xxx]]</code>, replacing "xxx" with the title of the target page (optionally followed by a "#" sign and the section title). </p><p>Make sure that there is no text <i>before</i> the #REDIRECT keyword, or the redirect will not work. There is not usually any reason to place any text after the link either, although sometimes categories (or categorizing templates—see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorizing_redirects" title="Wikipedia:Categorizing redirects">Categorizing redirects</a>), interwiki links (see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Interlanguage_links" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Interlanguage links">Interlanguage links</a>) or HTML comments (<code><!-- comment --></code>) are added. </p><p>Similarly, any existing page can be edited to turn it into a redirect. </p><p>To edit a page that is already a redirect (or to view its history, talk page, etc.), follow the redirect to the target page, then click on the link in the "(Redirected from ...)" notice at the top of the page. This takes you to the redirect page itself. (The <a href="/wiki/Help:URL" title="Help:URL">URL</a> for accessing a redirect page without following the redirect contains the query parameter <i>redirect=no</i>.) </p><p>Another way to get to a redirect page is to go to the target page, and click "<a href="/wiki/Help:What_links_here" title="Help:What links here">What links here</a>" (in the toolbox on the left of the page). This will show you all the <a href="/wiki/Backlink" title="Backlink">backlinks</a> to that page, including redirects. Clicking on a redirect in this list will take you to the redirect page, not the target. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Help:Edit_summary" title="Help:Edit summary">edit summary</a> box can be left blank; the summary will then be automatically generated stating that the page has been redirected to the given target.
