This is a documentation subpage for Template:Redirectstohere.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.
To view the template page itself, see Template:Redirectstohere.

Purpose

The purpose of this template :is to establish and document a section title backlink to and from a redirect page title that links to said section or page.

This usage will alert and prevent a subsequent editor from altering a section title and inadvertently breaking the link and whatever articles reference same.

Placement at the top of the article is useful as well, {{redirectstohere}} is best suited at that position. A maximum of nine pages can be provided. Backlinks are not added.

1. Plugins redirects here.
2. Plugins and Modules both redirect to here.
3. Plugins, Modules and Templates all redirect to here.
4. Plugins, Modules, Templates and Languages all redirect to here.
5. Plugins, Modules, Templates, Languages and Extensions all redirect to here.
6. Plugins, Modules, Templates, Languages, Extensions and Mambots all redirect to here.
7. Plugins, Modules, Templates, Languages, Extensions, Mambots and Scripts all redirect to here.
8. Plugins, Modules, Templates, Languages, Extensions, Mambots, Scripts and Foo all redirect to here.
9. Plugins, Modules, Templates, Languages, Extensions, Mambots, Scripts, Foo and Bar all redirect to here.

Usage

This template is used after a section heading on an article page and it uses the odd numeric parameter {{{1}}}, which will be not displayed in the tagged article as the reference title of the section. The next following even number is the name of the matching redirect page.

Subsequent pages may also be listed as additional "Numbered Parameters" to provide a reference to other redirect pages which link to that page or section, but only the Even numbered parameters will display, so dummy arguments might be needed to pad out multiple references to a single section, or the title should be repeated for each even occurrence.

{{{hide=yes}}}

adds a style attribute to hide the output. See notes below.

{{{border=css-class}}}

adds css-class to the class attribute of the container div.

Notes: the hide parameter should only be used if the template is added to a section to prevent visual clutter. An editor will still see the template as a procaution of changing a section title and thereby breaking (possibly many) links from other pages.

Example: In the article "Tides", the section title Spring Tides and Neap tides might be declared from their matching redirects:

ex:1 -- redirect 'Neap tide' goes to [[tide#Neap tide]]
     -- Odd params are section titles.
{{redirects|Neap Tides|Neap tide}}

ex:2 -- two redirects go to the same section 
    (i.e. related material, not worthy of own topics) 
    So handled in same section: -- Odd params are section titles...
{{redirects|Neap Tides|Neap tide|Neap Tides|Spring tide}}
      so the Section title "Neap Tides" covers both!

{{redirectstohere|Neap tide|Spring tide|Tides|Storm tide}} 
   -- to page Tide top, so lists all.
