Like crazy [[Numerology]] magic, clicking the redirecting link will take you instantly to the intended page.

Redirects are useful for instances in which many articles link to a page that hasn't been created yet, but small discrepancies in the page's name crop up. If, for example, half of the [[Subterfuge]] [[Category:Abilities|ability]] articles linked to the [[Syssin]], but the other half linked to the [[Syssin Defenders]], it might be desirable to create the ''Syssin Defenders'' page, and put a redirect to [[Syssin]]. It's a lot easier than changing all the links, eh?
