This template is for soft redirects. This template will NOT redirect the user, but will simply provide a big link. To make a page automatically redirect to another article, use #REDIRECT [[Page Name]].

By putting a link to a page, in the template eg {{redirect|GTA}} you give the following

Click this link to go to GTA



This will also work for external Interwiki links, eg {{redirect|wp:GTA}} which links to the page "GTA" on Wikipedia.

Click this link to go to wp:GTA



By adding a second variable, you can specify the text for the link, eg {{redirect|GTA|Grand Theft Auto}}

Click this link to go to Grand Theft Auto



This also works for Interwiki links eg {{redirect|wp:GTA|Grand Theft Auto}}

Click this link to go to Grand Theft Auto



By adding a third variable, you can specify text to come after the link, such as the location{{redirect|wp:GTA|Grand Theft Auto|on Wikipedia}}

Click this link to go to Grand Theft Auto on Wikipedia
