Template:Redirect-multi/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Redirect-multi.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Uses Lua:

Module:Redirect-multi

This template produces a redirect hatnote, analogous to {{redirect}}, for use when multiple redirects need to be specified.

Usage[edit source]

The first parameter supplied to the template should be a number specifying the number of redirects. If this is left blank or a non-numeric value supplied, it will default to 1.

Following the number parameter, a series of parameters should be supplied representing that number of redirects:

{{redirect-multi|3|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3}} →

If no further parameters are provided, then the template automatically supplies disambiguation links generated from each redirect as "other uses", as in the preceding example.

If further parameters are supplied, they use the same "for-see" structure as {{redirect}}, with pairs of use and target parameters and the and keyword to add multiple targets to a single use. For example:

{{redirect-multi|3|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3|USE1|PAGE1|and|PAGE2#SECTION|USE2|PAGE3{{!}}DISPLAY}} →

If insufficient redirects are provided, an error message is produced (and an error-tracking category, which can be suppressed by supplying a falsy value in a category parameter):

{{redirect-multi|3|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|category=false}} → Error: missing redirect parameter (help).
