A redirect link can be the only thing on a page, and if there is anything else on it, then the redirect link wont work(actually, it only doesnt if there is any content before the link, anything after it is simply text). A redirect link will be automatically followed when a user clicks a link to the page containing a redirect link. |

You may not actually notice at first, but take a look at the title, and look a bit under it... see that link? Click on it. Then you will see the actual contents of the redirect page without being redirected to the target page. | A random example of a redirect is [[Butcher|this page]].
