So [[All The Tropes:Everything You Wanted to Know About Changing Names|if a rename isn't called for]], creating a redirect is the next best thing. This is popularly abbreviated by saying "redirects are free" -- but it should be noted that the ability to create redirects is '''not''' a valid argument for or against renaming.
For instructions (and general guidelines) on exactly ''how'' to create a redirect, see [[Help:Redirects]].
Line 18:
Do ''not'' create redirects for the following:
* Misspellings: <code><nowiki>[[Magical Grrl]]</nowiki></code> to [[Magical Girl]].
* Abbreviations: <code><nowiki>[[WoT]]</nowiki></code> to ''[[The Wheel of Time]]''
* Variations in capitalization: <code><nowiki>[[On The Beach]]</nowiki></code> to ''[[On the Beach]]''.
* Specific examples: <code><nowiki>[[KMF]]</nowiki></code> to [[Humongous Mecha]].
