Redirect: To

By ErichSteinboeck

Description

Post Redirect info from Feb 2009 asks: “Wikimedia pages that are redirected to, show text "(Redirected from <pagename)", with a link so tht you can see the redirected page. Can the same be done here?”

In action

Here is an answer involving:

• the landing page code:redirect-to (edit it) which shows a “This page has been redirected from …” message only if having been redirected from one of the two redirection pages below
• a redirection page code:redirect-from (edit it): redirects to “redirect-to” showing an appropriate message there
• another redirection page code:redirect-from-2nd (edit it): also redirects to “redirect-to” showing an appropriate message there

This is the Redirect module that redirects the browser directly to the "http://snippets.wikidot.com/code:redirect-to/noredirect/true/tag/_(none)/" page.

Code

How the Landing Page is Coded

[[module ListPages category="code" limit="1" tag="@URL"]]
[[size smaller]]
This page has been redirected from [[[%%page_unix_name%%|%%page_unix_name%%]]]
[[/size]]
[[/module]]

[[div style="display : none"]]
[[module Redirect destination="http://snippets.wikidot.com/code:redirect-to/noredirect/true/tag/_(none)/"]]
[[/div]]

How a Redirection Page is Coded

Any redirection page must be uniquely tagged with the tag specified in below [[module Redirect ...]] call — in this case “_code:redirect-from”

[[module Redirect destination="http://snippets.wikidot.com/code:redirect-to/tag/_code:redirect-from/"]]
[[/module]]

[[div style="display : none"]]
[[module Redirect destination="http://snippets.wikidot.com/code:redirect-to/noredirect/true/tag/_(none)/"]]
[[/div]]

First time it is confusing - but after thinking and following your guide- Fine!

Thanks Erich for such solution!

I think sometimes - all is possible on wikidot.com .. we need only people like you who think deeper into the procedural tasks happening on the server.

So, if I make a wrong redirect, how can I undo that? Is it possible?
