To indicate that a topic should be redirected somewhere else, include a WikiPageProperty called Redirect on the page whose visitors should be redirected somewhere else. The value of the property should indicate where to send visitors and can be either a URL or a topic name.

For example,

 Redirect: http://www.yahoo.com/

will send visitors to the front page of Yahoo.

Or,

 Redirect: SomeOtherTopic

will send visitors to SomeOtherTopic

When a user arrives at a redirecting topic, their browser will automatically be redirected to the new location.

Changing a Page With a Redirect

Since redirection is automatic and instantaneous, you might be wondering how one could ever edit a page with a redirect (e.g., perhaps because you typed in the wrong URL for the redirect ). There is one special way to get at a page which will avoid the immediate redirect; instead the redirect will be delayed for a little while (10-15 seconds) so that you have time to see what the page really looks like and Edit it if you need to. To access a page and delay the redirect, type the topic name directly into the TopicBar and hit enter.
