Deleting Redirect Pages
When I add {{deletere}} to a redirect page, I will usually also disable the REDIRECT by adding <nowiki> tags.
This keeps the page from showing up on Special:BrokenRedirect.

Transclusion
Translude page "Help:Starting a new page" with {{Help:Starting_a_new_page}}
You might expect there to be a "New Page" command, but there isn't.
One way to make a new page is to browse to a nonexistent wiki page. The wiki software will then give you the option of editing that page.
For example, to create a page named "My Wacky Page", enter this URL in your browser:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/My_Wacky_Page
Then click on "edit this page" at the end of the "There is currently no text in this page" message.
After you save your page, be sure to create links to it in related pages. Unreferenced pages can be hard to find. (The syntax for creating links is, for example, [[My Wacky Page]] ).
You can also do the steps in the opposite order - first create the link on an existing page, then click on that link and edit the new page.
To rename your page, click the move tab and create a new title. The URL for the page changes as well.
End Transclusion
