-A '''cross-namespace redirect''' is a redirect from one namespace to another. It is commonly seen on sites such as [[MediaWiki.org]] that have more content in other namespaces (e.g. Manual:, Extension:, etc.) than in their mainspace. On [[Wikipedia]], redirects from mainspace to Project: space are discouraged since readers could accidentally stumble into meta wiki content.

+A '''cross-namespace redirect''' is a specific type of [[redirect]]; namely, a redirect from one {{tag|namespace}} to another namespace.
+It is commonly seen on sites such as the [[MediaWiki.org]] wiki site; that have more content in other [[namespace]]s (e.g. Manual:, Extension:, etc.) than in their main namespace.  On [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], redirects from main namespace to Project: space are discouraged, since readers could accidentally stumble into [[:Category:Meta|meta]]-specific wiki content.
+It should be noted that cross-namespace redirects are <u>not</u> compatible with the [[WikiIndex:Structured data|structured data]] system as used by [[:Category:Semantic MediaWiki|Semantic MediaWiki]] (SMW); and therefore, should ''<u>not</u>'' be used here on [[:Category:All|WikiIndex]].
