Template:Is redirect/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Returns yes when |1=somepagename is a redirect, and a <blank space> when not a redirect.

For illustration purposes, in this documentation redirect pages are in italics: MainpageMain_Page

Expect 'yes': {{Is redirect|Autism spectrum}} → yes
Expect '<blank>' (no): {{Is redirect|Autism}}

Talkpage handling

[edit]

By default, a check specifying a talk page is performed on the corresponding subject page (it's associated page in mainspace, or in Template space, etc.).

To check the talkpage itself, both use |talk=yes and the talk page name.
{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism spectrum|talk=yes}}

Background. By default, when entering a Talkpage to check (like Talk:Autism spectrum), the check is performed on the subject page. This stems from the module used. For example:

Page to check: Talk:Autism spectrum: {{Is redirect|Talk:Autism spectrum}}
Current pages status: Autism spectrum is a redirect, Talk:Autism spectrum is not a redirect (it has content).
{{Is redirect}} returns:
{{Is redirect|Autism spectrum}} → yes Green tickY
{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism spectrum}} → yes Question? (unexpected for the talkpage itself)
Applying Talk:Autism:
{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism spectrum|talk=yes}}Green tickY
Applying the subject page Autism:
{{Is redirect|Autism spectrum|talk=yes}} → yes Green tickY (|talk=yes for a subject page name checks the subject page, not the associated talk page)

Usage

[edit]
  • Main Page (expect neg): {{is redirect|Main_Page}}
  • Mainpage (expect yes): {{is redirect|Mainpage}} → yes

Can be used as:

{{#if:{{Is redirect|somepagename}} |value when yes |value when no}}
