Template:No redirect/doc

This template provides an easy way to link a redirect page without following the redirect. See Template:No redirect on Wikicryptos for more details.

Usage

It accepts two unnamed parameters:
 * 1= (required) the name of the page to link.
 * 2= (optional) the text to be displayed. If this is omitted then the input of the first parameter is used.

Example
Instead of having to copy/paste or type: an editor can type: or an  alias  can be used, as in: Both of those will take users directly to the same redirect page and display its pagename as a bluelink thus (using the alias): .
 * to yield The Silence of the Sea
 * to yield The Silence of the Sea

The second parameter (label) may be useful in discussions on talk pages. For example,

 * displays as

Also, if a page is not a redirect, a normal link is displayed:
 * displays as
