Summary: add {{#redirect}} parser function
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Redirects
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
I just keep forgetting the correct syntax for a redirect, namely this:
#REDIRECT [[link]]
Now I wanted to find out more about this class of commands with this syntax
starting with a # - but there are none except this? I was told, it is like this
because Redirect preceded parser functions. If it was implemented now, it would
probably be as a parser function, but out of tradition, mediawiki uses the
above syntax.
I would now propose to also include a consistent syntax like this:
{{REDIRECT:link}} or {{REDIRECT:[[link]]} if needed
The old syntax is probably well-known and certainly widely spread, so it should
also continue to work. However, it might be marked as deprecated, and the user
documentation should maybe promote the more consistent syntax over the
traditional one.
Otherwise I hope at least I wont forget the traditional syntax anymore after
all this hustle.
