New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{High-use}}
{{Lua|Module:Pagetype}}
Returns <code>yes</code> when {{para|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': <code><nowiki>{{Is redirect|Autism}}</nowiki></code> → {{Is redirect|Autism}}
:Expect '<blank>' (no): <code><nowiki>{{Is redirect|Autism spectrum}}</nowiki></code> → {{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 {{para|talk|yes}} and the talk page name.
:<code><nowiki>{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism|talk=yes}}</nowiki></code> → {{Is redirect|1=Talk:Autism|talk=yes}}

Background. By default, when entering a {{mono|Talkpage}} to check (like {{code|1=Talk:Autism}}), ''the check is performed on the subject page''. This stems from the [[:Module:Pagetype|module used]]. For example:
:Page to check: {{code|Talk:Autism}}: <code><nowiki>{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism}}</nowiki></code>
:Current pages status: ''{{no redirect|Autism}}'' is a ''redirect'', {{no redirect|1=Talk:Autism}} is {{big|not}} a redirect (it has content).
:{{tlx|Is redirect}} returns:
::<code><nowiki>{{Is redirect|Autism}}</nowiki></code> → {{Is redirect|1=Autism}} {{aye}}
::<code><nowiki>{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism}}</nowiki></code> → {{Is redirect|1=Talk:Autism}} {{Question mark}} ''(unexpected for the talkpage itself)''
::Applying {{code|Talk:Autism}}:
::<code><nowiki>{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism|talk=yes}}</nowiki></code> → {{Is redirect|1=Talk:Autism|talk=yes}} {{aye}}
::Applying the súbject page {{code|Autism}}:
::<code><nowiki>{{Is redirect|Autism|talk=yes}}</nowiki></code> → {{Is redirect|1=Autism|talk=yes}} {{aye}} ''({{para|talk|yes}} for a súbject page name checks the subject page, not the associated talk page)''

== Usage ==

* {{no redirect|Main_Page}} (expect neg): <code><nowiki>{{is redirect|Main_Page}}</nowiki></code> → {{is redirect|Main_Page}}
* ''{{no redirect|Mainpage}}'' (expect yes): <code><nowiki>{{is redirect|Mainpage}}</nowiki></code> → {{is redirect|Mainpage}}

Can be used as:
:<code><nowiki>{{#if:{{Is redirect|somepagename}} |value when yes |value when no}}</nowiki></code>

==Template Data==
{{template data header}}
<templatedata>
{
"params": {
"1": {},
"talk": {
"label": "Check Talk",
"description": "By default, the subject page is checked",
"type": "boolean",
"default": "no"
}
},
"description": "Returns \"yes\" or <blank> (for no) for the pagename entered"
}
</templatedata>
