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? <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Quilt|Quilt]] ([[User talk:Quilt|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Quilt|contribs]]) 17:24 30 August 2013</small>

: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.

::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 <nowiki>{{redirect}}</nowiki> template uses three parameters for pages. --[[User:Quilt|Quilt]] ([[User talk:Quilt|talk]]) 02:38, 31 August 2013 (EDT)

:::Okay I thought you were talking about standard redirects (<code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[blah]]</nowiki></code>), which is why I was confused.
