 Iterating through ``page.tags.all`` will display each tag associated with ``page``, while the link(s) back to the index make use of the filter option added to the ``BlogIndexPage`` model. A Django query could also use the ``tagged_items`` related name field to get ``BlogPage`` objects associated with a tag.
 
 This is just one possible way of creating a taxonomy for Wagtail objects. With all of the components for a taxonomy available through Wagtail, you should be able to fulfil even the most exotic taxonomic schemes.

+Have redirects created automatically when changing page slug
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+You may want redirects created automatically when a url gets changed in the admin so as to avoid broken links. You can add something like the following block to a ``wagtail_hooks.py`` file within one of your project's apps.
+
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from wagtail.core import hooks
+    from wagtail.contrib.redirects.models import Redirect
+
+    # Create redirect when editing slugs
+    @hooks.register('before_edit_page')
+    def create_redirect_on_slug_change(request, page):
+        if request.method == 'POST':
+            if page.slug != request.POST['slug']:
+                Redirect.objects.create(
+                        old_path=page.url[:-1],
+                        site=page.get_site(),
+                        redirect_page=page
+                    )
+
+
+Note: This does not work in some cases e.g. when you redirect a page, create a new page in that url and then move the new one. It should be helpful in most cases however.
