File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template can be used on pages which are the primary redirect for several terms which also have corresponding disambiguation pages. This template is compatible with up to 10 redirects. It can also be used targeting non-disambiguation articles, although it adds (disambiguation) to the end of each of its parameters by default. This can be modified through the dab parameter. It can also be used without linking at all by changing the link parameter, which may be useful on pages which have many redirects and other usages, but which all follow a regular pattern. The text parameter should also be used in such circumstances, to describe the titles of the redirects.

Examples

With one to ten filled parameters

• {{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1}} →
  Several terms redirect here. For other uses, see REDIRECT1 (disambiguation).
• {{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2}} →
  Several terms redirect here. For other uses, see REDIRECT1 (disambiguation) and REDIRECT2 (disambiguation).
• {{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3|REDIRECT4|REDIRECT5|REDIRECT6|REDIRECT7|REDIRECT8|REDIRECT9|REDIRECT10}} →
  Several terms redirect here. For other uses, see REDIRECT1 (disambiguation), REDIRECT2 (disambiguation), REDIRECT3 (disambiguation), REDIRECT4 (disambiguation), REDIRECT5 (disambiguation), REDIRECT6 (disambiguation), REDIRECT7 (disambiguation), REDIRECT8 (disambiguation), REDIRECT9 (disambiguation) and REDIRECT10 (disambiguation).

With more than ten parameters

• {{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3|REDIRECT4|REDIRECT5|REDIRECT6|REDIRECT7|REDIRECT8|REDIRECT9|REDIRECT10|invisible page}} →
  Several terms redirect here. For other uses, see REDIRECT1 (disambiguation), REDIRECT2 (disambiguation), REDIRECT3 (disambiguation), REDIRECT4 (disambiguation), REDIRECT5 (disambiguation), REDIRECT6 (disambiguation), REDIRECT7 (disambiguation), REDIRECT8 (disambiguation), REDIRECT9 (disambiguation) and REDIRECT10 (disambiguation).

Note – this template does not support more than ten parameters. Above is an example of what not to do.

With an empty parameter

The following template use with three parameters are fine:

• {{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3}} →
  Several terms redirect here. For other uses, see REDIRECT1 (disambiguation), REDIRECT2 (disambiguation) and REDIRECT3 (disambiguation).

However, with three parameters but with an empty the second parameter, a problem arises:

• {{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1||REDIRECT3}} →
  Several terms redirect here. For other uses, see REDIRECT1 (disambiguation).

Note: This causes only "REDIRECT1" to display since "REDIRECT2" is missing in the empty parameter within the two pipes with no content between them. If an entry is missed, the template only shows the entries before the missing entry. No error message is displayed.

With link=off

• {{Redirect-several|link=off|the contents of Category:Porridge|the page of the same name but without the word 'porridge'|another unlinked parameter}} →
  Several terms redirect here. For other uses, see the contents of Category:Porridge, the page of the same name but without the word 'porridge' and another unlinked parameter.
• {{Redirect-several|TEST1|TEST2|TEST3|TEST4|TEST5|TEST6|TEST7|TEST8|TEST9|TEST10}} →
  Several terms redirect here. For other uses, see TEST1, TEST2, TEST3, TEST4, TEST5, TEST6, TEST7, TEST8, TEST9 and TEST10.

With dab=off

• {{Redirect-several|dab=off|Porridge Oats|THE TASTIEST FOOD EVER|Martin's porridge (company)}} →
  Several terms redirect here. For other uses, see Porridge Oats, THE TASTIEST FOOD EVER and Martin's porridge (company).

With text parameter

• {{Redirect-several|dab=off|text=which are names of porridge brands|List of porridge-producing companies|a random other page|an unrelated page}} →
  Several terms which are names of porridge brands redirect here. For other uses, see List of porridge-producing companies, a random other page and an unrelated page.

With see parameter

• {{Redirect-several|link=off|see=replace|text=containing the word 'porridge'|the word 'porridge' with the word 'oats'}} →
  Several terms containing the word 'porridge' redirect here. For other uses, replace the word 'porridge' with the word 'oats'.
