Say you make a page that has multiple possible names and you want them all to go to your page. For instance you make an article called instructional swim but if some one searches swimming you want it to go to your page. What you do is make a the page swimming and all you put on it is a redirect link that directs them to the instructional swim page. You can do this by using the syntax <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Instructional swim]]</nowiki>. No if you search swimming you will automatically go to the instructional swim article. The only way to get back to the swimming article if you need to is to search swimming and on the top of the instructional swim article click the link to go back to the page you got redirected from.
