Forum:Redirect Style

Hi. I would like to edit the basic style of redirect pages, specifically replacing all with a template. How can I done it? Chris54721 17:51, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * You are aware that redirects are not visible but on the page where you get redirected towards (unless you specifically go to that specific page)?


 * So can you please elaborate a bit on what you would like to see happen here? You want it to look more fancy, but how exactly did you have in mind?




 * I do not know if I have correctly understood the question (Google does not work well ..) but in that case I would simply appear to us a template created by me, specifically . (I want to replace the arrow and the name of the redirected page with this template) --Chris54721 11:29, October 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * The purpose of redirects is that the user to automatically sent to a different page to the one they opened (the target page). They don't see the arrow, nor do they see #REDIRECT Page Name . As such, a template is not needed.


 * I think he is talking about the arrow that shows on the page where the #redirect is. Also the text. This will not be a redirect anymore.
 * Solution: Put in the page

Go see this page: Some_Page


 * There is also Mediawiki:redirectedfrom
 * Note: you are not the only one who speaks that language. Sometimes it's better to ask in your mother language.

Suggestions
On this matter, is it possible to let a redirect page showing up in the suggestion in the search bar? Because sometimes it would be really handy...


 * Actually: the search cache regularly shows redirects in the search results, but not always. It also regularly shows deleted pages in the search results. The only way to solve that is to contact wikia staff.



Do you mean that it's supposed too show them or that it shows them because an update issue? I don't see redirects in the search bar...
