== Redirects ==

A '''redirect''' is a page that automatically redirects the reader's browser to a specified target page. Redirects are used to help users locate information and keep wikis organized, so that multiple names, abbreviations, misspellings, or related topics can all point to the same page.

A redirect is created by the text

<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[</nowiki>''name of the target page''<nowiki>]]</nowiki>

As an example, if the page 'Foo' starts with the line <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Bar]]</nowiki>, then a person who visits the page 'Foo' will be shown the page 'Bar' with a note that they were redirected from 'Foo'. The page 'Bar' does not need anything in it to be the target of the redirection.

Any text after the redirect link is ignored.

Redirects should be used to make things easy to find on the distro compatibility page. So if you create a page called '''Wireless Card Hardware Compatibility''' you should also create a redirect at ''Hardware Compatibility,Wireless Card ''' and vice versa.
