Reviewing a redirect request
Some suggestions at AfC are for new redirects to be created. These are much easier to review, but still require a quick check to make sure they are needed.


 * Does the redirect exist? Do a quick search for the title of the suggested redirect and make sure it doesn't bring you to an article. If it does, tag the suggestion with and follow the declining directions below.
 * Did the submitter specify a target? If he did not, tag the suggestion with and follow the declining directions below.
 * Is there an obvious reason for the redirect? In most cases, a suggested redirect will be a misspelling or common alternate name of the main article. In some cases, however, the relation is a little more obscure. In this case, the user needs to provide an adequate explanation for the redirect. In the event of a very unclear link, sources may be needed to back up the user's statements. For example, one accepted redirect was from Harry Lauder's Walking Stick to Common Hazel - the user provided a link to a gardening site that used the nickname with the scientific name of Common Hazel. If no reasoning is provided and no sources are given, tag the entry with and close it.
 * If you feel the redirect should be declined for some other reason: Use . See Redirect for more guidelines on when redirects should exist. Follow the declining directions below.

If the suggested redirect passes these tests, then it can be created.

Accepting a redirect request

 * Close the submission:
 * Add the template directly under the section header.
 * Substitute the template at the bottom of the section (see that template's documentation for other response options.) Add your own signature afterward with four tildes (~).
 * Add the template at the very bottom of the section, below your reply. Failure to include this template will cause all text on the rest of the page to disappear!
 * Preview the page, then save your changes if everything is correct.
 * Create the redirect:
 * Add the text: #REDIRECT TARGET to the desired title of the redirect.
 * Add any applicable redirect templates
 * Open the article's (or redirect's) talk page.
 * Add the WikiProject Articles for Creation project banner by typing   at the top of the page.
 * Add any other applicable WikiProject banners.
