You can add a custom "extredirect" markup like this : (:extredirect http://external.site.com/dir/file.html#anchor :) Adding the following code to local/config.php will enable it : ## (:extredirect:) if(!...@$_post['preview']) { Markup('extredirect', '<include', '/\\(:extredirect\\s+(\\S.*?):\\)/ei', "Redirect(\$pagename, trim(PSS('$1')))"); $SaveAttrPatterns['/\\(:extredirect\\s.*?:\\)/i'] = ' '; } For security reasons, this is NOT recommended on open public wikis - any wiki page could be redirected to external (ad/porn/phishing) websites. Also note that when you save the page, you'll be immediately sent out of the wiki. Re-editing the page requires to type the ?action=edit url in your browser. These may be confusing and hard for less experienced users. For these reasons, I wouldn't recommend enabling external redirects, if you can just place a link on the redirect page. Visitors will have an additional step to go out - a single link is not hard to click. You can always edit the page to update a broken link. It is possible to edit it from within the wiki. You can also have multiple links for the visitor, like : Liens externes : * [[http://www.ameli.fr/ | Site institutionnel]] * [[http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNAM | Page de CNAM sur Wikipédia]] Pages de ce site possedant un lien vers cette page : (:pagelist link={*$FullName}:) This may even fit nicely in the Category feature, where, in pages, you just use a link [[!CPAM]] instead of [[CPAM]]. > To make things clear I would not migrate to a wiki that does not permit > external redirection.

If the file exists, local/Site.Redirect.php is included automatically in pmwiki.php, when a visitor goes to the page [[Site/Redirect]].
