== When To Create a Redirect ==
* If a creator is equally known by both a nickname and his real name, one should redirect to the other: <code><nowiki>[[JMS]]</nowiki></code> to [[J. Michael Straczynski]].
* If a page has accented characters in its name, create a redirect with the closest unaccented characters to make it easier to type into the search box:
* If a work has a [[Market-Based Title]], it should be a redirect to the work: <code><nowiki>[[MI-5]]</nowiki></code> to [[Spooks]].
* Similarly, [[Syndication Title]]s should redirect to the work: <code><nowiki>[[The Raymond Burr Show]]</nowiki></code> to [[Ironside]].
* If a work has had multiple titles over its lifespan, the work page should be created either under its original name or the name by which it is best known (if they are not the same), and all the other names it has had should be made redirects: <code><nowiki>[[Valerie]]</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>[[Valerie's Family]]</nowiki></code>, and <code><nowiki>[[The Hogans]]</nowiki></code> all redirect to [[The Hogan Family]].
* If a trope has different names depending on where you are, pick one of the names for the trope name and redirect the other regional names to whichever one you chose: <code><nowiki>[[Yummy Mummy]]</nowiki></code> (UK) to [[Hot Mom]] (US).
