Template:Redirect

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template produces a hatnote:

• {{Redirect|Foo}} → Template:Dablink

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}} → Template:Dablink

• {{Redirect|REDIRECT||PAGE1}} → Template:Dablink

• {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1}} → Template:Dablink

• {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} → Template:Dablink

• {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} → Template:Dablink

• {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} → Template:Dablink

• {{Redirect|Achilleus|the Emperor with this name|Achilleus (emperor)|other uses|Achilles (disambiguation)}} (as used on the page Achilles) → Template:Dablink
