Hi, it seems like the redirect command only works for internal links. Is it possible to configure it for external links too, as in this pagehttp://dummipedia.org/ASEAN, so that it also jumps automatically?
Basically, my problem is this. Dummipedia was my first project. In a way, it failed because I could not create a community. I decided to break it up into several websites, focusing only on areas that are of interest to me. Since Dummipedia.org reached an Alexa ranking of 360,000+ and dropping (as I have not worked on it for a month), I thought that I might as well keep it and redirect all its articles to the appropriate websites.

MediaWiki can't redirect to external URLs, but it is possible for interwiki links. You can set an interwiki prefix and then use it for the redirects like "#REDIRECT [[iw:Some page]]".

Hi Alexandre, thank you for your reply. If I can find out how the jumping is done with internal links, there may be a way.
