Can I do a redirect? Not saying I cannot as I am not an expert. Note that I
have already written most of the article and published it in its original
location on the old wiki and linked to it there. Then the links to the article
got broken when the site moved to wordpress (supposedly to prevent spam, but
like I noted a similar measure can be done using mediawiki and other wiki
engines) and I wish them restored. I didn't ask for the switch to wordpress,
and I certainly do not desire the link getting broken.

I didn't refuse to contribute as I already did. I'll see what I can do myself
about a redirect at the wordpress level.
Thanks!
