What I want(ed) was for someone looking for an article on Evidence Based Health to find the material that exists.
This isn't the first time I hear a newbie was "bitten" just because they didn't know how to create a redirect. When I was new, the same happened to me; I created the page [[Extrema]], writing "Plural of [[Extremum]]". The proper response should have been to turn it into a redirect, but instead an overzealous sysop just deleted the page.
I think sysops need to learn to recognise what kinds of contributions should really be redirects (as opposed to deleted, much less blocked), and to actually turn them into redirects.
