+This template is for soft redirects. This template will NOT redirect the user, but will simply provide a big link
+By putting a link to a page, in the template eg <code><nowiki>{{redirect|Page}}</nowiki></code> you give the following
+{{redirect|Page}}
+This will also work for external [[Help:Interwiki|Interwiki]] links, eg <code><nowiki>{{redirect|wp:GTA}}</nowiki></code> which links to the page "GTA" on Wikipedia.
+{{redirect|wp:GTA}}
+By adding a second variable, you can specify the text for the link, eg <code><nowiki>{{redirect|GTA|Grand Theft Auto}}</nowiki></code>
+{{redirect|GTA|Grand Theft Auto}}
+This also works for Interwiki links eg <code><nowiki>{{redirect|wp:GTA|Grand Theft Auto}}</nowiki></code>
+{{redirect|wp:GTA|Grand Theft Auto}}
+By adding a third variable, you can specify text to come ''after'' the link, such as the location<code><nowiki>{{redirect|wp:GTA|Grand Theft Auto|on Wikipedia}}</nowiki></code>
+{{redirect|wp:GTA|Grand Theft Auto|on Wikipedia}}
+</noinclude>
