Template:No redirect
[[:]]
'
 | This template uses Lua: |
This template provides an easy way to link a redirect page without following the redirect.
Usage
[edit]{{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
[edit]Instead of having to copy/paste or type:
[https://en.wikivoyage.org/w/index.php?title=Lafayette_GA&redirect=no ''Lafayette GA'']- to yield Lafayette GA
…an editor can type:
''{{No redirect|Lafayette GA}}''
The second parameter (label) may be useful in discussions on talk pages. For example,
{{No redirect|Lafayette GA|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:
{{No redirect|Kolkata/Dum Dum}}displays as Kolkata/Dum Dum
Also, if a page is not a redirect, a normal link is displayed:
{{No redirect|Saint Petersburg}}displays as Saint Petersburg
