Help:Redirect
If you want to have alternate names direct to an existing page, you need to make a redirect. Redirects are useful for cases where there are different ways of referring to the same thing. EcoliWiki uses redirects to make finding what you want easier. Redirects are created by making a page with the desired nickname that has the following content: #REDIRECT [[Name of page where redirect will go]]
For example: Information about the Protein Data Bank (PDB) is found on a page named Protein Data Bank (PDB). We would like the user to be able to search for PDB and be directed to the existing page. To do this, we created a page named PDB and added the content: #REDIRECT [[Protein Data Bank (PDB)]]
