== When ''Not'' To Create a Redirect ==
Do ''not'' create redirects for the following:
* Misspellings: (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[Magical Grrl]]</nowiki></code> to [[Magical Girl]]).
* 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]]'').
* 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.
* Definite articles that aren't part of the page name: (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[The Tsundere]]</nowiki></code> to [[Tsundere]]).
* 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]]'').
