		+	It is not yet documented here how this is done, but it could be a good idea t turn off most editor-only categories, since presumably most readers of this wiki will be interested only in the rules and the design history, rather than in the many strange tags that editors might want to place temporarily or permanently on articles. The Completion tags should perhaps still be visible to everyone. Or perhaps not.
		+
		+	It will eventually be documented here, how to do this, bu is not a high priority, as it can be done at any time and with ease, because it is done on each category page, rather than on each category tag in each article.

		+	<pre>
		+	#REDIRECT [[pagename]]
		+	</pre>
		+	Where you replace pagename with the name of the article you wish to link to.<br><br>
		+
		+	To redirect to a category instead, put in first a colon, then then name of the cateogry, e.g. like this:
		+	<pre>
		+	#REDIRECT [[:Category:Editor stuff]]
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	In both cases, what happens is an automatic instant redirect, rather than the user being shown a page and expected to clikc on the redirect link.
		+
		+	The command REDIRECT might not be case-sensitive, but just to be safe, always write it in all-caps. It is not known whether it makes any difference if there is text on the lines under the REDIRECT line, but as that is nonsensical, always erase all other text before putting in a redirect.
