Redirects are pages which contain wiki markup of the form

#REDIRECT [[Name of target page]]

where "Name of the target page" is the name of the page to which the wiki software will automatically redirect the reader who typed in the name of the redirect page.

There is no harm in having many redirects (e.g. from pages with common spelling or even mis-spelling variants) to one target page, though it is often possible to contextualize these pages by turning the redirect page into a CZ:Lemma article which briefly explains the relationship between the two different page names.

Examples

{{r|fMRI}}
{{r|Functional magnetic resonance imaging}}
