Viewing a redirect

After making a redirect at a page, you can no longer get to that page by using its name or by any link using that name. However, near the top of the destination page, a notice that you have been forwarded appears, with the source pagename as an active link to it. Click this to get back to the redirected page, showing the large bent arrow symbol and the destination for the redirect.

Found the above ' HELP" info. In plain English below (hopefully)

1. So once you have MOVEd a page from a sandbox, OPEN the new article you have made and you will see top LEFT a redirect link back to your sandbox. 2. Click on that link - it opens your SANDBOX with the redirect big arrow and name of the new page. Don't panic. 3. Click on EDIT and a new box appears which has a redirect item ticked in blue, UNTICK that one and save/publish.

4. You still have a box of text in your sandbox. Don't worry. 5. Click on EDIT SOURCE and delete everything you see. Publish that. 6. You can add the user sandbox header in again - In EDIT SOURCE mode add the words user sandbox between double curly brackets and Publish that.

PS then look at the talk page of the sandbox you were working on. For it you can use EDIT SOURCE and steps4-6! If these suggestions no good, try next session with Andrew or Ewan to go over it and improve the advice. Happy Moving! Kaybeesquared (talk) 12:42, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
