Capitalization makes a difference in this case.

I created the redirect because the hyphen (-) makes a difference. The hyphen makes "Shield-Surfing" (capitalized) a whole word, different from the whole word "Shield-surfing" (non-capitalized).

If it were an underscore (_), that makes no difference. The underscore makes "Shield_Surfing" (capitalized) the same as "Shield_surfing" (non-capitalized).

Eh, as an admin, I'm fine with the redirect. Like Enjoyer said, redirects are cheap.
I'm less certain about the formatting of the actual page with the hyphen and the -ing, however. Second thing first, usually you try and keep to the simplest form of the wording for a title. And first thing second, from the "Ability Controls" pause menu:

@ Sanityormadness - Thank you for the image! I'll put it up in the article. As far as the redirect, I just wanted to cover any permutation for the search.

I'll also create a redirect for "Shield Surf", now that I'm looking at the image...

Just as a proof of concept we'll use Anti-Fairy as an example. You can put "anti-fairy" or "anti-Fairy" and it will find it and there is no redirect.
