For editing purposes I need to construct a "redirect" (which I know how to do in simple cases) that redirects from the English version of Wikipedia to the Italian version, and I cannot figure out whether it is possible. Can you help, please?

The need arises because I am improving the English version of some existing translations of Italian pages, and I want to preserve the links, for example, to people and places mentioned in the text, but who are not on the English pages.

In case you need to check, the pages I am editing are those for Cava de' Tirreni.

 * I don't think you can do this, if it is internal wikilinks you are talking about. I'd just leave them redlinked and people can go to the interwikied link for Italiano to get more info. If enough people do this, someone will create an article on them. If not, no harm done. I agree, by the way, that that article does need some improvement in language. I sometimes do translation and improvement like this - having translated from French, German and Romanian so far. (I've edited on at least six foreign language Wikipedias too - mostly minor edits... and tagged articles in several other languages for deletion as spam, unnotable, etc.) Welcome to Wikipedia, and keep up the good work. Second thought: you could include a reference leading to the Italiano article, but that's a lot of twiddling and I don't think worth the effort. The two red links in the article in question aren't likely to get many non-Italian speaking users very excited. Just leave 'em red. Peridon (talk) 11:55, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
