Template:Is redirect/doc

Returns yes when |1=somepagename is a redirect, and a <blank space> when not a redirect.

For illustration purposes, in this documentation redirect pages are in italics: Mainpage → Main_Page

Expect 'yes': {{Is redirect|Autism}} →

Expect '<blank>' (no): {{Is redirect|Autism spectrum}} →

Talkpage handling

By default, a check specifying a talk page is performed on the corresponding subject page (it's associated page in mainspace, or in Template space, etc.).

To check the talkpage itself, both use |talk=yes and the talk page name.

{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism|talk=yes}} →

Background. By default, when entering a Talkpage to check (like ​Talk:Autism​), the check is performed on the subject page. This stems from the module used. For example:

Page to check: ​Talk:Autism​: {{Is redirect|Talk:Autism}}

Current pages status: Autism is a redirect, Talk:Autism is not a redirect (it has content).

{{Is redirect}} returns:

{{Is redirect|Autism}} → Y

{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism}} → ? (unexpected for the talkpage itself)

Applying ​Talk:Autism​:

{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism|talk=yes}} → Y

Applying the súbject page ​Autism​:

{{Is redirect|Autism|talk=yes}} → Y (|talk=yes for a súbject page name checks the subject page, not the associated talk page)

Usage

• Main_Page (expect neg): {{is redirect|Main_Page}} → yes
• Mainpage (expect yes): {{is redirect|Mainpage}} →

Can be used as:

{{#if:{{Is redirect|somepagename}} |value when yes |value when no}}
