If you have come here because I have reverted an edit of yours:
No, I'm not part of a conspiracy to hide "the truth."
No, I'm not biased against you, and I could be wrong.
If you (hopefully respectfully) disagree with me, come and leave a message on my talk page, described below (click SHOW)
Sometimes, I can make mistakes. That happens, and given one civil message, I can redact the warning, restore your content, and everything should be okay. However, to do so, please comply with some ground rules:
Discuss, in a calm manner, why you disagree with my revert.
If you, in hindsight, actually think I was right, then all is well, and things should be okay.
Lastly, I'm willing to apologise for my actions, but in turn, you should be too. Like me, you're not always right, and please don't insist you are, especially even if I've provided substational evidence to the contrary.
A redirect is a page that has the sole purpose to automatically redirect readers to a differently named page; to take the reader where they really wanted to go. Redirects allow a topic to have more than one title. Redirects are used for synonyms, abbreviations (initialisms), acronyms, accented terms (diacritics), misspellings, typos, nicknames (pseudonyms), scientific names, etc.
To create a redirect for the term "Oof":
Type Oof in the search box, press ↵ Enter
Click on the redlink for Oof that it presents
In the edit window that appears, type #REDIRECT [[Foo]] on the first line to make it lead to the article Foo
Redirects should be organized in to categories too. Each redirect can have up to seven redirect categories. Categories go on the third line of the redirect. (Note: Plant has a subcategory within the category of scientific name; enter plant after a pipe).
Here are two examples of a redirect category using a category template:
{{R from birth name}}
{{R from scientific name|plant}}
Preview your new redirect before saving it. Make sure:
There is a big right-facing arrow to the left of the bolded name of your target page name.
That your target page is bolded in blue (if it is red, go back and double check your target name in the edit window).
That your redirect category has rendered properly and that the boilerplate it presents makes sense.
