Template:Redirect/doc: Difference between revisions

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Redirect.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Using this template does not create a redirect. The following pages may have what you are looking for:

Wikipedia:Redirect is the official Wikipedia guideline on redirects. The page focuses on the rules and standards that the Wikipedia community has agreed to generally follow regarding redirects.
Help:Redirect is a how-to page that focuses on the technical aspects of templates. It instructs editors on how redirects work and how to handle them without causing errors.
R template index contains a large list of templates that are used in order to tag and categorize redirects.

This template is used on approximately 42,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Module:Redirect hatnote

This template produces a hatnote:

{{Redirect|Foo}} →
"Foo" redirects here. For other uses, see Foo (disambiguation).

Its purpose is to reduce confusion by helping users get to their intended page if they were redirected to another page while, for example, searching for a topic. An example would be when a user searches for Achilleus (as in the emperor), but ends up on the page titled Achilles (as in the mythical hero) after being redirected. A |text= option adds text to the end; note that this should be only used when truly necessary, and the other hatnote templates listed below don't suffice.

Examples

{{Redirect|Foo}} →
"Foo" redirects here. For other uses, see Foo (disambiguation).
{{Redirect|REDIRECT||PAGE1}} →
"REDIRECT" redirects here. For other uses, see PAGE1.
{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1}} →
"REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see PAGE1.
{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} →
"REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see PAGE1. For USE2, see PAGE2. For USE3, see PAGE3.
{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} →
"REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see PAGE1 and PAGE2.
{{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} →
"REDIRECT" redirects here. For USE1, see PAGE1. For USE2, see PAGE2 and PAGE3.
{{Redirect|Achilleus|the Emperor with this name|Achilleus (emperor)|other uses|Achilles (disambiguation)}} (as used on the page Achilles) →
"Achilleus" redirects here. For the Emperor with this name, see Achilleus (emperor). For other uses, see Achilles (disambiguation).

+* [[Wikipedia:Redirect]] is the official Wikipedia guideline on redirects. The page focuses on the rules and standards that the Wikipedia community has agreed to [[WP:Common sense|generally]] follow regarding redirects.
+* [[Help:Redirect]] is a how-to page that focuses on the technical aspects of templates. It instructs editors on how redirects work and how to handle them without causing errors.

+{{lua|Module:Redirect hatnote}}
+This template produces a [[Wikipedia:Hatnote|hatnote]]:
+* {{tlx|Redirect|Foo}} → {{Redirect|Foo}}
+Its purpose is to reduce confusion by helping users get to their intended page if they were redirected to another page while, for example, searching for a topic. An example would be when a user searches for [[Achilleus]] (as in [[Achilleus (emperor)|the emperor]]), but ends up on the page titled [[Achilles]] (as in the mythical hero) after being redirected. A {{para|text}} option adds text to the end; note that this should be only used when truly necessary, and the other hatnote templates listed below don't suffice.
+== Examples ==

+* {{tlx|Redirect|REDIRECT<nowiki>||</nowiki>PAGE1}} → {{Redirect|REDIRECT||PAGE1}}
+* {{tlx|Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1}} → {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1}}
