 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:No redirect. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on 311,000+ pages, or roughly 5752% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
This template provides an easy way to link a redirect page without following the redirect.
{{no redirect|page name|label}}
It accepts two unnamed parameters:
- 1= (required) the name of the page to link.
- 2= (optional) the text to be displayed. If this is omitted then the input of the first parameter is used.
Example
Instead of having to copy/paste or type:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Silence_of_the_Sea&redirect=no ''The Silence of the Sea'']- to yield The Silence of the Sea
an editor can type:
''{{No redirect|The Silence of the Sea}}''
or an alias can be used, as in:
''{{-r|The Silence of the Sea}}''
Both of those will take users directly to the same redirect page and display its pagename as a bluelink thus (using the alias): Template:-r.
The second parameter (label) may be useful in discussions on talk pages. For example,
{{-r|The Silence of the Sea|this redirect}}
may appear on a talk page in this context: "For reference, see Template:-r."
If there is no page with that name given by the first parameter, the template generates a redlink as for any article name:
{{-r|Bill Clinton (nickname)}}displays as Template:-r
Also, if a page is not a redirect, a normal link is displayed:
{{-r|Bill Clinton}}displays as Template:-r
