Template:Is redirect
 | This template is used on approximately 326,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
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: Mainpage → Main_Page
- Expect 'yes':
{{Is redirect|Autism spectrum}}→ yes - Expect '<blank>' (no):
{{Is redirect|Autism}}→
Talkpage handling
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=yesand 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
{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism spectrum}}→ yes
(unexpected for the talkpage itself)- Applying
Talk:Autism: {{Is redirect|Talk:Autism spectrum|talk=yes}}→- Applying the subject page
Autism: {{Is redirect|Autism spectrum|talk=yes}}→ yes (|talk=yesfor a subject page name checks the subject page, not the associated talk page)
Usage
- 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}}
