Template:No redirect

[[:]]

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Due to a server limit of 500 "expensive parser function" calls (e.g. #ifexist:, PAGESIZE:, and PAGESINCATEGORY:), this template will only work properly if the page using it has not already exceeded the limit. When the limit is exceeded, the page using this template or module is categorised in Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls. (further information)

This template is used on approximately 640,000 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.

Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation).

This template uses Lua:

Module:Redirect

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.bharatpedia.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): The Silence of the Sea.

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 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)

Also, if a page is not a redirect, a normal link is displayed:

{{-r|Bill Clinton}} displays as Bill Clinton
