Template:Redirect-several

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template employs intricate features of template syntax.

You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.
You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either , the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here.

This template can be used on pages which are the WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT for several terms which also have corresponding disambiguation pages. This template is compatible with up to 10 redirects. It can also be used targeting non-disambiguation articles, although it adds (disambiguation) to the end of each of its parameters by default. This can be modified through the dab parameter. It can also be used without linking at all by changing the link parameter, which may be useful on pages which have many redirects and other usages, but which all follow a regular pattern. The text parameter should also be used in such circumstances, to describe the titles of the redirects.

{{Redirect-several |link= |dab= |text= |see= |OtherUse1 |OtherUse2 |OtherUse3 |OtherUse4 |OtherUse5 |OtherUse6 |OtherUse7 |OtherUse8 |OtherUse9 |OtherUse10}}

Examples

With one to ten filled parameters

{{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1}} →
{{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2}} →
{{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3|REDIRECT4|REDIRECT5|REDIRECT6|REDIRECT7|REDIRECT8|REDIRECT9|REDIRECT10}} →

With more than ten parameters

{{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3|REDIRECT4|REDIRECT5|REDIRECT6|REDIRECT7|REDIRECT8|REDIRECT9|REDIRECT10|invisible page}} →

Note – this template does not support more than ten parameters. Above is an example of what not to do.

With an empty parameter

The following template use with three parameters are fine:

{{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3}} →

However, with three parameters but with an empty the second parameter, a problem arises:

{{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1||REDIRECT3}} →

Note: This causes only "REDIRECT1" to display since "REDIRECT2" is missing in the empty parameter within the two pipes with no content between them. If an entry is missed, the template only shows the entries before the missing entry. No error message is displayed.

With `link=off`

{{Redirect-several|link=off|the contents of Category:Porridge|the page of the same name but without the word 'porridge'|another unlinked parameter}} →
{{Redirect-several|TEST1|TEST2|TEST3|TEST4|TEST5|TEST6|TEST7|TEST8|TEST9|TEST10}} →

With `dab=off`

{{Redirect-several|dab=off|Porridge Oats|THE TASTIEST FOOD EVER|Martin's porridge (company)}} →

With `text` parameter

{{Redirect-several|dab=off|text=which are names of porridge brands|List of porridge-producing companies|a random other page|an unrelated page}} →

With `see` parameter

{{Redirect-several|link=off|see=replace|text=containing the word 'porridge'|the word 'porridge' with the word 'oats'}} →

With `for` parameter

Replaces the words "other uses":

{{Redirect-several|for=a more in-depth article|text=regarding porridge|oat|dab=of}} →
