No, there is currently no way to directly move an alternate to the Related Questions section of the answer. If the alternate is not the same as the question (just another way to word it), please split it off and then add it as a Related Question if necessary.

Why was your question redirected to 'What questions add no value to WikiAnswers'?
If a question is redirected to "What questions add no value to WikiAnswers?", then it became an alternate to that question because it added no value. Questions like "Purple blue yellow ice cream?" will be merged into "What questions add no value to WikiAnswers?" because, as the question states, they do not add any value to the site.
Can the supervisors of WikiAnswers be emailed directly to get an answer for your question?
You can only email supervisors if their email address is on their bio page. You can ask WikiAnswers your questions.
Why is it important to add alternate wordings to WikiAnswers questions?
Alternate wordings enable a question to be found. When you ask a question with the Ask bar at the top of this page, using the exact wording of a question or any of its alternates will send you directly to the question page. For example, "Why is it important to add alternative wordings to questions?" is an alternate of this question. If you anyone asks that, they'll find this page immediately. Also, the keywords inalternate wordingshave just as much value as the keywords in the primary wording of the question. Therefore, if someone searches for "alternative wordings" they're just as likely to find this question as if they searched for "alternate wordings."
Why should you split alternate wordings on WikiAnswers?
If the alternate wording is "Is Casting Crowns a Christian band?" for the question "Who is the drummer of Casting Crowns?" They need to be split because they are two different questions.
What is the meaning of 'Alternate Wordings' on WikiAnswers?
Alternate wordings are different ways of writing a question. An example is: "What are alternate wordings?" and "What is an alternate wording?". Both questions are trying to ask the same thing, so when two like questions are merged together, one becomes an alternate wording, so when someone types in that different wording in the ask bar, they will get redirected to the actual, grammatically correct question.
How do you add alternate wordings to questions on WikiAnswers?
On the left toolbar, click on 'Edit Alternates' under the 'Question tools'. At the bottom of the page, under 'Add new alternate wordings', type in the question reworded. Also, alternate wordings are created by saying a question is the same as another when asking a new question.
What are questions that have no value to be answered on WikiAnswers?
Questions with no value on Wikianswers are questions that are not needed to be asked and simply waste time and space on this website. If you think you have a good question that ends up here when you ask it, E-mail Wikianswers directly and they'll take care of it.
Do people see the WikiAnswers questions in real time?

What are alternates on WikiAnswers?
"Alternates" or "alternate wordings" are other ways of phrasing the same exact question on WikiAnswers. When an alternate wording is asked on the site, it redirects you to the primary wording of that question. If an alternate wording is mismatched with a primary wording from which it differs, we should "split" it out into a separate question.
When you're asking a question on WikiAnswers and click on one of the questions on the list why doesn't your former question add as an alternate to the question you choose anymore?
This was done to reduce the amount of alternates being incorrectly added to questions as well as reduce the amount of badly spelled or grammatically incorrect alternates. You can still add an alternate to a question by clicking 'edit alternates' and filling in the information to add an alternate found at the bottom of the page.
