+{{Stub}}
-It is commonly seen on sites such as [[MediaWiki.org]] that have more content in other [[namespace]]s (e.g. Manual:, Extension:, etc.) than in their mainspace.  On [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], redirects from mainspace to Project: space are discouraged, since readers could accidentally stumble into [[:Category:Meta|meta]] wiki content.
+A '''cross-namespace redirect''' is a specific type of [[redirect]]; namely, a redirect from one {{tag|namespace}} to another namespace.

+It should be noted that cross-namespace redirects are <u>not</u> compatible with the [[WikiIndex:StructuredData|structured data]] system as used by [[:Category:Semantic MediaWiki|Semantic MediaWiki]] (SMW); and therefore, should ''not'' be used here on [[WikiIndex]].
