A regular redirect is performed by <code>#REDIRECT [[]]</code>. A double redirect should be fixed by the same method as above, or by replacing it with a hard redirect. Regular redirects did not exist in <code>wikispaces</code>.

Real or "hard" redirects directly go to the target page without a notice of redirect. Therefore, they should only be used in the case of simple misspellings or alternate spellings. The rule is that if anyone might ever want to flesh the redirect out into its own article, it should not be a hard redirect. Hard redirects can be chained with no problem, which is why they're still appropriate to use for misspellings. The code for a hard redirect in MediaWiki is <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[:en:Page title]]</nowiki></code>. Hard redirects worked somewhat differently in <code>wikispaces</code>.
