Forum:Will including a redirect template automagically take a user to the parameter page?

Forums: Index → Help desk → Will including a redirect template automagically take a user to the parameter page?

Title pretty much says it all. I guess I could add an additional condition: If I create a new page and add the redirect template and a page for the first parameter, will it automatically take the reader to the specific page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quilt (talk • contribs) 17:24 30 August 2013

I don't think you're using the right terms here. Redirects do not use templates and templates do not use pages for parameters. Therefore your question does not make sense. Toomai Glittershine The Loony 17:43, 30 August 2013 (EDT)

Okay. "Will including a redirect template automatically take a user to the parameter page?" Am I using the correct terms now? I am pretty sure the {{redirect}} template uses three parameters for pages. --Quilt (talk) 02:38, 31 August 2013 (EDT)

Okay I thought you were talking about standard redirects (#REDIRECT [[blah]]), which is why I was confused.

I will add documentation to {{redirect}} to explain how to use it. Toomai Glittershine The Quiet 07:26, 31 August 2013 (EDT)
