--[=[
Given a single page name determines what page, if any, it redirects to and returns the target page name, or the
passed page name if not a redirect. The passed page name can be given as plain text or as a page link. The
returned page name is as plain text, or when the bracket parameter is given, as a page link. An error message
is returned if page does not exist or the redirect target cannot be determined for some reason.

Thus these are roughly the same:
  [[{{#invoke:redirect|main|redirect-page-name}}]] and {{#invoke:redirect|main|redirect-page-name|bracket=yes}}
