Hi Sarvagnya, I have noticed that you have changed a number of spellings by using "pipes" like this: |
|||
:<nowiki>[[oldname|newname]]</nowiki> |
|||
Another way to do this is to create a redirect page. That would be a page with the name '''newname''', and its contents would be |
|||
:<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[oldname]]</nowiki> |
|||
In some cases your method is best. In particular double redirects do not work. However, editors are likely to use more than one spelling, you can save them much trouble by creating a redirect page. For example [[Kaveri]] and [[Cauvery]]. |

Another way to user alternate spellings
Hi Sarvagnya, I have noticed that you have changed a number of spellings by using "pipes" like this:
- [[oldname|newname]]
Another way to do this is to create a redirect page. That would be a page with the name newname, and its contents would be
- #REDIRECT [[oldname]]
In some cases your method is best. In particular double redirects do not work. However, editors are likely to use more than one spelling, you can save them much trouble by creating a redirect page. For example Kaveri and Cauvery. --BostonMA 01:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
