Difference between revisions of "Template:Redirect"

Revision as of 10:10, 23 September 2009

The Template:Redirect should be inserted in any article to which a page points (redirects) that could have another meaning.

Example

The article Leopards points to Snow Leopards as there are no actual leopards in the Tomb Raider Games. A visitor however might be looking for the Bolivian Jaguar instead, having confused the two. (There are no leopards in South America.) So a link to the Jaguar should also be provided (in the Snow Leopard article, as the Leopard article does not exist as article but as a redirect).

Code

• {{Redirect|$name_of_the_redirected_article|$name_of_alternative_target1}}

For one alternative.

• {{Redirect|$name_of_the_redirected_article|$name_of_alternative_target1|$name_of_alternative_target2}}

For two alternatives. (You can add up to 10 alternatives this way.)
