How can I suppress MediaWiki from formatting URLs, tags, etc?
Put "<nowiki>" tags around the URL or tag. For example:
svn co <nowiki>http://svn.example.com/myproject/</nowiki>
produces: svn co http://svn.example.com/myproject/

Automated Page Redirects
Redirects are used to forward users from one page name to another. They can be useful if a particular article is referred to by multiple names, or has alternative punctuation, capitalization or spellings.
You may start a new page with the name you want to direct from. You can also use an existing page that you are making inactive as a page by going to that page and using the "edit" tab at the top. In either case, you will be inserting the following code at the very first text position of the Edit window for the page:
#REDIRECT [[pagename]]
where pagename is the name of the destination page. The word "redirect" is not case-sensitive, but there must be no space before the "#" symbol. Any text before the code will disable the code and prevent a redirect. Any text or regular content code after the redirect code will be ignored (and should be deleted from an existing page). However, to put or keep the current page name listed in a Category, the usual tag for that category is entered or kept on a line after the redirect code entry.
