ok, but how do you create the redirect ??


 * just read the text and click on Help:Links ;-) -- :Bdk: 01:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

The Links help doesn't actually explain redirects very well. Meta does, but like all the meta help pages, it needs to be severely pared down to be ported here (and in fact, it can't just be imported willy-nilly because meta is GFDL and not Public Domain). 64.121.2.59 21:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

How do I do a 'protect page'? I see no link to any explanation on this. Thanks for your feedback VReijs 10:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * If you are a sysop, you should see a "protect" tab on top of every page, if using the Monobook skin. You can also click on "edit this page", and on the address bar of your browser, replace  with  . If you get a permissions error, then you need to get a wiki admin to protect the page for you. You can also have a look at Help:Administration on Meta for more detailed instructions. Titoxd (?!?) 07:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

You can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page. The URL to an article of the wiki is usually something like this:

* http://www.my-wiki.org/index.php/ARTICLE   or    * http://www.my-wiki.org/wiki/ARTICLE

this doesn't work?? HOw com I have to do it like this instead:-

http://wiki.example.com/index.php?title=ARTICLE

No Links for Spammers
The page www.my-wiki.org is a existing url which contains a lot of adverts. Please change the URL in the example to something like example.net from RFC 2606.
