# '''Copy and Paste:''' You can copy all or part of the donor page (from its editing box) and paste it into the editing box of the recipient page. This has two advantages.

==Redirecting One Page to Another Page== | |||
Sometimes it is desirable to have one page automatically take you to another page. This is called ''redirection''. This is useful when there are synonomous titles for two or more pages, for example, [[Non-Standard Residue]] was created, and later [[Non-Standard Residues]] (plural) was created and redirected to the former page. Sometimes a page is renamed. For example, a page called [[Interesting Pages]] was later renamed to [[Topic Pages]]. The former now redirects to the latter. | |||
Whenever the page you requested redirects you to another page, you will see a small notice to that effect beneath the title. For example, see [[Interesting Pages]]. | |||
To redirect one page to another page (which we'll call the ''Target Page''), the redirecting page should contain only a single line in this format: | |||
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Target Page]]</nowiki> | |||
