[wiki] PopularPages - recommended update to F page.

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Thanks for the clarification there.  That does make me agree with you and
Geoff.

I think the proper way to do a redirect is to put this line at the top of
the 'old' page

#REDIRECT [[QA/BugReport]]

where

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/QA/BugReport

would be the 'new' page.  Errr, i copied and modified this from a
LibreOffice wiki which i happened to know was a redirect so ymmv.  I'm
particularly uncertain about leaving out the "community" bit so it might be

#REDIRECT [[community/QA/BugReport]]

or i could so far off that it's completely wrong.
Regards from
Tom :)
