Template:No redirect/doc

'

This template provides an easy way to link a redirect page without following the redirect.

Usage

{{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.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
