Summary
- This template is for creating soft redirects, that is to say, short pages inviting readers to visit another page on a different Wikimedia project. This cannot be performed with a classical redirect due to technical restrictions.
- This template is also used to redirect an entry to a special page, in which case hard redirects have been disabled.
- For redirecting categories, use
{{Category redirect}}instead. - For all other redirects within the English Wikipedia, please continue to use
#REDIRECT [[Other article]].
This places tagged pages in Category:Wikipedia soft redirects or Category:User soft redirects.
Usage
{{Softredirect|target}}
- Example
{{Softredirect|Meta:Template:Softredirect}} will produce:
Meta:Template:Softredirect
This page is a soft redirect.
