Module:Redirect/doc

This module implements templates that detect and resolve redirects and soft category redirects.

Soft redirects are hard to detect and costly as they require loading and parsing the wiki page content of 'Category:' pages.

Soft redirects are category pages containing the template

• {{Category redirect|target}}

or one of its known aliases on Commons (there are too many!!!): Template:Columns For the full list of aliases of {{Category redirect}}, see

For the full list of derived templates, see

The 'target' parameter value for these templates may be prefixed by 'Category:' or ':Category:' or not (it is implied).
