Line 17: Some pages on Wikipedia are '''redirects''', they don't have any content of their own but just send you on to another page. For example [[UK]] is a redirect to [[United Kingdom]]. So if you type <code>UK</code> in the search box and press Enter, it will take you directly to the article on the United Kingdom. (There will also be a small note below the article title saying "Redirected from UK", just so you know what happened.) To make a redirect, first create a new page. You can then either use the VisualEditor {{menu icon\|[[File:VisualEditor - Icon - Menu.svg\|22px\|link=]]}} menu and click {{menu icon\|[[File:VisualEditor - Icon - Settings.svg\|22px\|link=]] Page settings\|non}} to choose a destination page, or you can insert the Wiki Markup code: <code>#REDIRECT [[Destination]]</code>. ~~You can create a redirect yourself by making a page with the code:~~ ~~<pre>#REDIRECT [[Destination]]</pre>~~ (Note ~~that~~: it's usually a bad idea to create redirects from one namespace ~~into~~to another.)
