Forum:Templates: Transcluding a redirect

On the Programmer's Wiki, we have a glossary, sections of which several pages redirect to. I was hoping to make these redirects more manageable by abstracting them into a temp[ate which would be transcluded onto them. Unfortunately, as the template code contains a redirect, the glossary itself is transcluded rather than a redirect, and the section within it is not scrolled to. I tried using the ASCII codepoint &amp;#35; in place of the &#35;, but this prevents MediaWiki from honoring the redirect at all. Is there any way to make this work?

 * I think it would be easier to make each glossary entry a separate page (maybe a subpage) and transclude them all together in the glossary and then individually wherever you want them to appear. The trick is to make sure each entry has an edit link somewhere unobtrusive, so people can still easily update the entries. You don't need to put pages in the Template: namespace to transclude them. For non-Template: namespace pages, use  to transclude them. Make sure to use   around portions of pages you want to transclude. --  Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 8:37 AM PST 24 Jun 2010
