This page is a soft redirect.
Summary
- This template is for creating soft redirects, that is to say, short pages inviting readers to visit another page on a different Wikimedia project. This cannot be performed with a classical redirect due to technical restrictions.
- This template is also used to redirect an entry to a special page, in which case hard redirects have been disabled.
- Occasionally, it is used to effectively disable a redirect that has been deprecated, e.g. WP:DIVA, in which case {{Historical}} is usually also used, above the soft redirect template.
- For redirecting categories, use
{{Category redirect}}instead. - For all other redirects within the English Wikipedia, please continue to use
#REDIRECT [[Other article]]. - Per WP:SOFTSIS, the plain {{soft redirect}} template should not be used in the mainspace. Instead, use one of the specialized soft redirect templates.
This template places tagged pages in Category:Wikipedia soft redirects or Category:User soft redirects.
Usage
Single parameter
{{Soft redirect|target}}
Example
{{Soft redirect|Meta:Template:Interwiki redirect}} will produce:

Two parameters
{{Soft redirect|target|label}}
Example
{{Soft redirect|Meta:Template:Interwiki redirect|"Template:Interwiki redirect" on Meta}} will produce:
