Template:No redirect/doc

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://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stille_Nacht&redirect=no ''Stille Nacht'']
  • to yield Stille Nacht

an editor can type:

• ''{{No redirect|Stille Nacht}}''

or an alias can be used, as in:

• ''{{-r|Stille Nacht}}''

Both of those will take users directly to the same redirect page and display its pagename as a bluelink thus (using the alias): Stille Nacht.

The second parameter (label) may be useful in discussions on talk pages. For example,

• {{-r|Stille Nacht|this redirect}}

may appear on a talk page in this context: "For reference, see this redirect."

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 Bill Clinton (nickname)
