We use redirects to connect logical search phrases to helpful places. They don't cost us anything, so they're highly-encouraged. There are a few exceptions, but unless one redirects to a place to where someone ''wouldn't'' want to go, there's no downside to having them. In such a case where a phrase could have multiple meanings, a disambiguation page is used.

DoodleBob
For example, let's take a look at the search phrase "battle for bikini bottom". Without a proper redirect, users are taken to [https://spongebobwiki.org/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=battle+for+bikini+bottom&go=Go this results page]. MediaWiki's built-in search is not great, and redirects allow us to make up for that by applying a human touch to point users in the right direction. If there's even a small chance that a redirect will help someone, it's not useless.
Spongebob Squarepants
 
Doodle Gary
=== Unnecessary redirects ===
Doodle Squidward
Due to MediaWiki's search irregularities, a proper-capitalization redirect and all-lowercase redirect may exist for each topic (for example, [[SpongeBob Meets The Strangler]] and [[Spongebob meets the strangler]]). Deleting redirects provides no real benefit, so they should only be tagged for deletion in the rare cases where (1) they are completely nonsensical or (2) they are too general. '''There is no need to delete alternate name, conjectural, or spelling-mistake redirects unless they are specifically too silly or too general.'''

(1) We don't need the redirect '''Episode with the magic conch''' because it's too silly.

It is a normal day in Bikini Bottom and Spongebob and Patrick want to introduce there new friend squeaky the balloon to Sandy who is working on a portal to other worlds and Sandy does not want them to touch any buttons but they do Spongebob touches the buttons with his feet, Patrick touches the buttons with his butt, and they keep touching buttons until the portal activates and it puts Spongebob and Patrick in a trance and Sandy comes back to find it been activated!!
(2) We don't want the redirect '''Episode with plankton''' because we're not positive what page the user is looking for (you might say "[[Plankton!]]", but maybe they're actually trying to find "[[Plankton's Army]]"), so the search page is the best place for them to be.
and then Sandy wants them to stop walking closer to the portal but then they skip into it and then they are skipping into it and Sandy wants them to stop skipping into it and to turn around so Spongebob and Patrick stop and turn around like Sandy said but then she says walk they walk backwards and are in the portal and their water helmets fall of and Spongebob and Patrick and screaming and then they come in a blank dimension.

Plot

It is a normal day in Bikini Bottom and Spongebob and Patrick want to introduce there new friend squeaky the balloon to Sandy who is working on a portal to other worlds and Sandy does not want them to touch any buttons but they do Spongebob touches the buttons with his feet, Patrick touches the buttons with his butt, and they keep touching buttons until the portal activates and it puts Spongebob and Patrick in a trance and Sandy comes back to find it been activated!! and then Sandy wants them to stop walking closer to the portal but then they skip into it and then they are skipping into it and Sandy wants them to stop skipping into it and to turn around so Spongebob and Patrick stop and turn around like Sandy said but then she says walk they walk backwards and are in the portal and their water helmets fall of and Spongebob and Patrick and screaming and then they come in a blank dimension.

Other types of redirects

Non-mainspace redirects

Template, Category, and File redirects are discouraged. In the rare case that one of these types of pages is moved, it is necessary to update all links to the new name and delete the redirect page.

Smart apostrophe/quote redirects

Due to certain devices using smart quotes and apostrophes by default (“...” and ‘...’), searching a title that uses regular quotes and apostrophes won't direct those users to that page unless they use the correct type, so creation of smart apostrophe/quote redirects (for example, The Algae’s Always Greener for The Algae's Always Greener) is encouraged.

Linking to redirects

Linking to redirect pages is discouraged, so always try to link to the actual page name and use the piped link formatting to correct the name if necessary.
