Template:No redirect

{-r}

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.wikipedia.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
