| This is a Template documentation subpage for Template:Soft redirect. It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Summary
- Template:Soft redirect/doc is for creating soft redirects, that is to say, short pages inviting readers to visit another page at a different wiki (e.g., Wikimedia Foundation projects, or another Wikia wiki). This cannot be performed with a classical redirect due to technical restrictions in the mediawiki software.
- 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 Admin Tools Wiki, please continue to use:
#REDIRECT [[Other article]].
- This template will categorize into Category:Soft redirects and Category:User soft redirects.
