Template:Redirect

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

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Redirect/doc. Changes can be proposed in the talk page.

Template:Redirect invokes function redirect in Module:Redirect hatnote using Lua.

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 Roberts Space Industries (as in the publisher), but ends up on the page titled Roberts Space Industries (as in the in-game company) 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).
