A user might mistype a URL. Organizations often register these misspelled domains and redirect them to the intended location. This technique is often used to "reserve" other top-level domains (TLD) with the same name, or make it easier for a ".edu" or ".net" site to accommodate users who type ".com".
Caching Behavior: Many web browsers cache 301 redirects. This means that once a user's browser encounters a 301 redirect, subsequent requests to the original URL will be automatically directed to the new URL without contacting the server. Updating Bookmarks: Browsers may update bookmarks to reflect the new URL after encountering a 301 redirect.
This takes you to the redirect page itself. (The URL for accessing a redirect page without following the redirect contains the query parameter redirect=no.) Another way to get to a redirect page is to go to the target page, and click "What links here" (in the toolbox on the left of the page).
In a web browser, the address bar (also location bar or URL bar) is the element that shows the current URL. The user can type a URL into it to navigate to a chosen website. In most modern browsers, non-URLs are automatically sent to a search engine. In a file browser, it serves the same purpose of navigation, but through the file-system hierarchy.
Effectively namespaces web-based protocols from other, potentially less web-secure, protocols This convention is defined within the HTML Living Standard specification: web+ string of some lower-case alphabetic characters :
Meta refresh is a method of instructing a web browser to automatically refresh the current web page or frame after a given time interval, using an HTML meta element with the http-equiv parameter set to "refresh" and a content parameter giving the time interval in seconds.
Since the "What links here" page does list redirects to a sections in the page, another possible workaround is making a new title that redirects to a particular section, and encouraging people to make links to the redirect rather than the section. For instance, making a Bar (Foo) page that redirects to Foo#Bar.
A redirect is a special type of page that automatically causes another page to be displayed in its place. The displayed page is called a redirect target. A redirect that points to another redirect is called a double redirect. These pages are unwanted, because Wikipedia's MediaWiki software is currently configured to not follow the second redirect.
