Description and use
[edit source]This template produces a hatnote:
- {{Redirect|Foo}} →
It is placed at the top of the article or section that is the primary topic of a redirect, and links to other topics that are ambiguous with the name of that redirect. This template is used instead of the generic {{for}} in order to reduce reader confusion.
An example would be when a user searches for the emperor Achilleus. However, the search term "Achilleus" redirects to the page titled Achilles (as in the mythical hero) because it is considered more likely the user were searching for the very well known hero than a relatively obscure emperor. Now, at the top of this Achilles page you will (among other things) find the following hatnote:
- "Achilleus" redirects here. For the Roman emperor with this name, see Achilleus (Roman usurper).
That text is this template in action.
Parameters

You can help expand this section. |
A |text= option adds text to the end; note that this should only be used when truly necessary, when the other hatnote templates listed below don't suffice.
Examples
[edit source]- {{Redirect|Foo}} →
- {{Redirect|REDIRECT||PAGE1}} →
- {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1}} →
- {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} →
- {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} →
- {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} →
- {{Redirect|Achilleus|the Emperor with this name|Achilleus (emperor)|other uses|Achilles (disambiguation)}} (as used on the page Achilles) →
The |selfref=yes option marks the entire hatnote as a Wikiversity self-reference, causing it to be omitted when the page content is reused outside of Wikiversity (see {{self reference}} and w:MOS:SELFREF for more details).
More complex uses
[edit source]For more complex cases, other templates can be used:
- {{Redirect2}} (when there are two incoming redirects)
- {{Redirect-multi}} (for two or more redirects)
- {{Redirect-several}} (for several redirects, without listing each)
- {{Redirect-distinguish}}
- {{See Wiktionary}} with "redirect" field
- {{Technical reasons}}
