Use this tool to quickly create a redirect on Wikipedia. To create a redirect, enter the title you wish to redirect away from into the box below. This will create a new page, but it will not be published to Wikipedia proper until you hit 'Publish'.
Enter the title you want to create here, and click Create redirect:

Note that creating a redirect on mobile browser can cause issues; you may wish to switch to desktop view. To do this, scroll to the bottom of this article and click the 'desktop view' link.

If the article already exists, creating a redirect from that title will remove the existing article, which is usually a bad idea. The article may also exist already as a redirect.

If the article doesn't exist already, you'll see the following text:

#REDIRECT [[Name of article]]

Replace "Name of article" with the article you want it to point to, and click "Publish page".

For example, entering 'UK' into the above box would create a new page with the title 'UK'; a redirect from this page to the United Kingdom article would be formatted like this:

#REDIRECT [[United Kingdom]]

Publishing this page would create the UK to United Kingdom redirect.
