I think that sounds like a good suggestion.

How about instead a See Also link to this page:

  http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagecropauto.php

Is added to this page:

  http://php.net/manual/en/imagick.trimimage.php

Does this seem reasonable?

As for delete(), it was created long ago (in the 90's) by, well, probably gnomes.

Good point. Let me ask you this - with that in mind, why was http://php.net/manual/en/function.delete.php
or any other dummy pages made in the first place?

I'd rather like to be redirected to the actually desired page, or
to see it listed in the search results, but as workaround a dummy
page might be in order – on the other hand, where would we stop?
Dummy pages for chopimage and cropimage might only be the next
step …

Description:
------------

From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.imagecropauto
---

I had a scenario today where I had to create an entire script as an alternative to imagick's
trimimage method that in turn already existed natively in PHP with function imagecropauto().  You
might imagine my frustration of this wasted time.

We can help anyone else avoid the same mistake in the future by building a dummy page named
something like "imagetrim" to direct people to the imagecropauto page, much like http://php.net/manual/en/function.delete.php
is a dummy page to direct people to the doc page for unlink.
