Some bookmarks I want to save for myself: WP:UBXWP:US
During the 2015 spring semester at school, I enjoyed my time editing Wikipedia and focusing on WP:BLP and WP:NEUTRALITY. Unfortunately, I got a bit too addicted and getting controversial articles to a neutral point of view became an obsession, breaking the addiction. Over the summer, I had an internship that took up all my time and left none for editing Wikipedia. I eventually signed back in to add the retired template to my user pages. Back at school now, I still check wikipedia, but generally avoid editing so I don't get sucked back in. I can be reached for whatever reason on my talk page, but please understand if I don't respond.

A redirect is a page that has the sole purpose to automatically redirect readers to a differently named page; to take the reader where they really wanted to go. Redirects allow a topic to have more than one title. Redirects are used for synonyms, abbreviations (initialisms), acronyms, accented terms (diacritics), misspellings, typos, nicknames (pseudonyms), scientific names, etc.
To create a redirect for the term "Oof":
Type Oof in the search box, press ↵ Enter
Click on the redlink for Oof that it presents
In the edit window that appears, type #REDIRECT [[Foo]] on the first line to make it lead to the article Foo
Redirects should be organized in to categories too. Each redirect can have up to seven redirect categories. Categories go on the third line of the redirect. (Note: Plant has a subcategory within the category of scientific name; enter plant after a pipe).
Here are two examples of a redirect category using a category template:
{{R from birth name}}
{{R from scientific name|plant}}
Preview your new redirect before saving it. Make sure:
There is a big right-facing arrow to the left of the bolded name of your target page name.
That your target page is bolded in blue (if it is red, go back and double check your target name in the edit window).
That your redirect category has rendered properly and that the boilerplate it presents makes sense.
