Post/Redirect/Get (PRG) is a web development design pattern that lets the page shown after a form submission be reloaded, shared, or bookmarked without ill effects, such as submitting the form another time. When a web form is submitted to a server through an HTTP POST request, attempts to refresh the server response can cause the contents of ...
Creating a redirect. To create a redirect, enter the title you wish to redirect away from into the box below. This will create a new page, but it will not be published to Wikipedia proper until you hit 'Publish'.

In your browser, click the Back button to get back to the redirect page. Click the "edit this page" tab, and fix the text within the double square brackets (see #4 in Figure 16-11). Then add ...

Discussion about limitations, relative portability, and speed of the various alternatives is strongly encouraged.

It is bad practice to create links in article text using the format [[Article#Section]]; navigation then becomes difficult if the section is expanded into a new article. Instead, link using a redirect to the main topic; it costs little and makes improvements easier. Thus: In a redirect page named "History of Topic", use #REDIRECT [[Topic#History]].
