I made a page for the Western Animation page for Monsters University, but I need help redirecting the "Main" page to it.

I know the fiat dictates we cannot cut Main/ redirects that are grandfathered in (as of November 2012), but we're trying to discourage any further practice of this.

Anyways, to make a redirect for a page, you should have the redirect be like [[redirect:<namespace>/<work>]], but please only have namespaced redirects for namespaced works.

How do you break a redirect?

I found a page that I think got lost because the WMG section got reorganized or something and the wiki treats pages differently if one is titled "Kingkiller Chronicle" and the other is "Kingkiller Chronicles" with an S.

I created a page that isn't technically an Index but functions like one and has separate links to "The Name of the Wind" and "The Wise Man's Fear" (two distinct books in the same trilogy), but both pages automatically redirect to the old "Kingkiller Chronicle" page. How do I break the redirects so stuff can be organized by book?

Can you link the page here or at Ask The Tropers? I don't want to go searching for it.

You need to put the URL of the redirect in the address bar, then append ?action=edit at the end.
