How do I do '#REDIRECT' like MediaWiki?

As of Confluence 4.x, the alias macro is no longer available, and the plugins on the Atlassian plugin exchange do not support Confluence 4.x. So basically, it looks like you're SOL if you want to do a #REDIRECT in Confluence.

Use the alias macro. Just insert it at the top of the target page (the opposite of MediaWiki).

For example, if you had a page named Foo and you wanted links to Bar to redirect to Foo, you would edit Foo and add:

You can add as many aliases as you like.

The nice thing about this (relative to MediaWiki) is that the page has all of it's redirects or aliases on it.
