Our policies and guidelines are currently being expanded and rewritten to reflect our unwritten practices. The help section is also in the middle of an expansion, and will mention redirects when it's completed. Redirects are not added to pages already containing information, and chapter pages with information are not blanked unless they are duplicate pages and the contents of all pages are being merged. In this case, the two parks are considered separate. Sorry about the confusion. Ricken (talk) 14:51, 14 April 2015 (EDT)

I think I misspoke, or at least concerning this particular instance. Parks that change their names submit a new contract to the Burning Lands, thereby making them a new park, even if membership, location, and all other details have not changed. AmtWiki has established policy of retaining information of the pages of defunct parks, even those who are not actually defunct due to a name change. This keeps the history of parks preserved, and continuity across the site.
If you see another park in a situation like this who has had a name change and has a redirect from the old park name, let me know, because this is incorrect and we must have let that slip past accidentally. Other redirect usage includes for misspellings, pluralized articles, and player name changes, not for park name changes.
Keep the Moving Trees information as part of the historical record, but keep the Sacred Winds information updated as an active park. Thanks for the understanding, and I'll make sure the new policies include this to prevent further confusion. Ricken (talk) 16:20, 14 April 2015 (EDT)
