CreateRedirect is a special page extension that eases creation of redirects. It displays a form that only asks for the origin page and the destination page, and then saves the page. It also adds a menu item to the side "toolbox" menu as a shortcut, and is able to pass through the current article's title through that shortcut to fill in the destination field automatically. It's convenient and great for batch edits!

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called CreateRedirect in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

  wfLoadExtension( 'CreateRedirect' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
• The special page itself is accessible through Special:CreateRedirect.
