Redirect to an external website
How do you redirect to an external website ?

I would love to be able to make an image clickable to an external website.

 * I don't think this question really relates to redirecting. You want to link, to an external website, and you want to create a click-able image. See Help:Links. You can't easily make an image clickable, though is it possible using rather ugly Template:Click tricks. A straightforward text link appearing below an image, is more easily do-able with normal wiki text.
 * If you are interested in redirecting to external websites. Well you can't do that either. It's not really the kind of thing the wiki syntax is designed to let you do. Part of the reason might be that it would be too easy to abuse.

redirect seems to work if it's the first thing on a page
we can store other information below the redirect line, and only see it when clicking on the back link from the redirected target page peblusto 11:41, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Viewing a redirect
i propose the following rewording for this section Help:Redirects peblusto 11:41, 28 December 2007 (UTC):

After creating a redirect, the wiki automatically redirects a browser to the target page. However there is a link displayed near the top of the target page. Click this to go to the redirecting page. On the redirecting page, you can do all the things that any other wiki page allows. You can go to the associated discussion page to discuss the redirect. You can view the history of the page before the redirect was put in place. You can edit and change the redirect, and you can revert to an older version to remove the redirect.
