Rationale for creation of redirect

[edit]

I encountered the phrase in Dani Shapiro § Early life and education and wanted to add a wikilink; it felt more generally useful to add a redirect rather than simply use a piped link because of the following:

1. Google Trends: "recreational DNA test" web search, which shows modest results compared to e.g. "home DNA test", which I may make a redirect page for as well.

2.

The ramifications of sharing your DNA with for-profit companies are continuously evolving, and opting into a recreational DNA test today will likely lead to future consequences that no one has anticipated.

3.

The Lost Family takes reporter Libby Copeland into the living rooms of dozens of people whose lives have been turned upside down due to the results of a recreational DNA test.


Maybe starting this topic is overkill, but I'm relatively new (~700 mainspace edits) and I figure thorough documentation is a good idea regardless.
