<br>#REDIRECT [[community/QA/BugReport]]<br><div><div><div><br></div><div>or i could so far off that it's completely wrong. <br></div><div>Regards from <br></div><div>Tom :) <br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>

Hi :)
Moving pages around is likely to break redirects and links that people have
in their "bookmarks".
Redirects are quite simple once you know how to do them. It's just a case
of remembering how. Errr, i can't remember tbh.
It might be more polite to initially put a simple clickable url address and
add a note to say that the page has been merged to there.
Regards from
Tom :)
