Line 8:
== 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 (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[JMS]]</nowiki></code> to [[J. Michael Straczynski]]). However, this is ''only'' for creators who are known by their nicknames - see "Abbreviations" under When ''Not'' To Create a Redirect, below, for other similar cases.
* 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 (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[Pokemon]]</nowiki></code> to ''[[Pokémon]]'').
* If a work has a [[Market-Based Title]], it should be a redirect to the work (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[MI-5]]</nowiki></code> to ''[[Spooks]]'').
