Web pages may be redirected to a new domain for three reasons: a site might desire, or need, to change its domain name; an author might move their individual pages to a new domain; two web sites might merge. With URL redirects, incoming links to an outdated URL can be sent to the correct location.
Since the "What links here" page does list redirects to a sections in the page, another possible workaround is making a new title that redirects to a particular section, and encouraging people to make links to the redirect rather than the section. For instance, making a Bar (Foo) page that redirects to Foo#Bar.
The "Page settings" button opens a dialog that shows several options. You can make a page a redirect to another page by checking the "Redirect this page to" checkbox, and then typing the name of the page to which you want to send the reader who tries to go to the page that you're editing.

To a list entry: This is a redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry. For redirects from a topic to a related list and not to an entry on that list, use {{ R from list topic }} instead .

When you or another editor moves a page, the old page name doesn't go away. Instead, it becomes a redirect page (or simply a redirect). That's good—other pages in Wikipedia are probably linked to the old name, and the redirect means the links on those other pages still work. They take the reader to the page in its new location.
To add a redirect to this category, place {{Rcat shell|{{R to anchor}}}} on the second new line (skip a line) after #REDIRECT [[Target page name]]. For more information follow the links. Never substitute redirect template(s), nor place them on soft redirects. See also the complete list of redirect templates and the redirect style guide.
