		+	This page explains a few of the techniques and formatting commands you can use to edit pages. It is still a work in progress. If you want to figure out how to do something in particular that's not listed here, one good strategy is to view the editing window of pages that contain the formatting you want to emulate. You can also often find examples on other wikis.

 == Redirects ==
+Redirects are used to automatically move the user from one page to another. For example, if a user types '''SEAS''', they are first taken to the [[SEAS|SEAS article]], which instantly redirects them to the article on [[Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science]]. This allows users to easily find articles without always typing the exact title of the article.
