== Wiki Redirects
Usually, wikis do not allow redirects to external sites, because the
potential for abuse is very high. We've developed a plugin for the Fedora
Wiki which allows redirects to _only_ pages on this site,
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/. To create such a link, use the
`#fedoradocs` macro by putting something like this at the top of the wiki
page you are obsoleting:
[source,mediawiki]
----
{{#fedoradocs: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/fedora-project/council/fpl.html}}
----
Of course, you will want to replace that specific URL with the one for your
new target page. The URL can't be something arbitrary — it must begin with
`https://docs.fedoraproject.org/`.
Once the redirect is in place, visitors to that wiki page will be instantly
whisked (well, redirected, with the code `301 Moved Permanently`) to the
docs site. If you need to edit such a page to correct the URL, or to remove
the redirect completely, use a form like:
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Project_Leader&action=edit
Note that there is no validation that the target exists or is correct —
please double-check that any redirects you create work properly before
moving on.
