Line 21:
* Abbreviations (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[WoT]]</nowiki></code> to ''[[The Wheel of Time]]''). At least one admin goes out of his way to turn "abbreviation" redirects into on-topic disambiguation pages.
* Variations in capitalization (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[On The Beach]]</nowiki></code> to ''[[On the Beach]]'').
* Shortened versions of a work name (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[First Men in the Moon]]</nowiki></code> to ''[[The First Men in the Moon]]'').
* Specific examples (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[KMF]]</nowiki></code> to [[Humongous Mecha]]).
* Plurals: Regular plurals can be linked just by appending an "s" or "es" to the normal markup. For example, <code><nowiki>[[Game Breaker]]s</nowiki></code> becomes [[Game Breaker]]s. Handle irregular plurals with [[Pothole]]s.
