Line 25:
* Character names that aren't used as official titles (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[John McClane]]</nowiki></code> to ''[[Die Hard]]'').
* Memes to works that inspired them (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[Leekspin]]</nowiki></code> to ''[[Bleach]]'').
== What Not To Do When Creating a Redirect ==
* Don't create a redirect to a redirect. This is called a [[Special:DoubleRedirects|Double Redirect]] and it is an unnecessary complication to the wiki structure. If you're going to create a redirect, point directly to a page.
* Do not put categories on a redirect.
Compare [[Needs a Better Title]], [[Needs a Better Description]], and [[Pages Needing Images]].
