Redirects
No problem! The point of using #REDIRECT wherever is that the wiki software automatically does the redirect for you rather than the reader needing to click on another link.

If you need to edit a redirect (for whatever reason; generally because it's wrong, or if you're making a new article that's no longer a redirect), you simply click on the link at the top left of the redirected-to article that says "redirected from Here &mdash; in that case you'd click on Here &mdash; then edit the page you get to. One warning though; a redirect shouldn't point to a redirect (that's called a "double redirect" and doesn't work), so rather than

foo -> bar -> boz

You'd need

foo -> boz and bar ->boz

(Hope that made sense).

Another small point by the way, and nothing to do with redirects, it's conventional to put new entries on peoples' talk pages at the bottom, rather than at the top. That makes them easier to see.

Simply point the redirect to the correct page rather than to John Davis. In this case I assume you mean John Davis (English explorer). Tonywalton | Talk 13:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
