Description
Although Wikidot's Redirect Module is useful, it doesn't allow you to use variables (via includes or the ListPages module) within it. In such times, you may want to iframe this special JavaScript redirect.
Attributes
| attribute | required | allowed values | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| url | yes | valid URL or website address | none | Specifies the URL to redirect the user to |
| mode | no | default, advanced | default | Specifies method of iframe generation |
“Advanced Mode” merely uses Wikidot's HTML block to generate the iframe Redirect. This might be required for certain use cases. The iframe Redirect is incompatible within Wikidot modules when used in “Advanced Mode”, and therefore “Advanced Mode” is not recommended.
/noredirect/t
If you don't want the page to redirect elsewhere, simply add /noredirect/true to the URL, and you won't be redirected.
Code
[[include :snippets:redirect
|url=http://www.wikidot.com
]]
In action
Random Snippet (as described in the “alternative” here)
Alternative Method
Alternatively, you may like to code the iframe redirect manually:
[[iframe http://snippets.wdfiles.com/local--code/code:iframe-redirect#URL ]]
Where the word URL is where you would place the URL of your destination page… the page you want the user to be redirected to.

how to set heigth and weigth for iframe ?
There's no need to set the height or width of the iframe… your page will be redirected before anybody sees the iframe.
noredirect/true doesnt work, is there an alt?
Yes, there is an alternative:
