Editing Help:Redirect (section)

== When not to use redirects ==

Hard to say.  One issue with using redirects is that, if you edit a page that links to a redirect to another page, that edit will not show up in the "Related changes" page of the redirect's destination like it will if you use a [[Help:piped link|piped link]].  On the other hand, who uses the "Related changes" function?  Redirects still show up on the "What links here" pages, which are far more useful.

Much like piped links, redirects can be abused as "easter eggs", like redirecting "Worst role-playing game of all time" to [[FATAL]].  Redirects should not surprise the reader.
