{{notice|1=Using this template does '''not''' create a redirect. The following pages may have what you are looking for:
* [[Wikipedia:Redirect]] is the official Wikipedia guideline on redirects. The page focuses on the rules and standards that the Wikipedia community has agreed to [[WP:Common sense|generally]] follow regarding redirects.
* [[Help:Redirect]] is a how-to page that focuses on the technical aspects of templates. It instructs editors on how redirects work and how to handle them without causing errors.
* [[Template:R template index|R template index]] contains a large list of templates that are used in order to tag and categorize redirects.

{{lua|Module:Redirect hatnote}}
This template produces a [[Wikipedia:Hatnote|hatnote]]:
* {{tlx|Redirect|Foo}} → {{Redirect|Foo}}
Its purpose is to reduce confusion by helping users get to their intended page if they were redirected to another page while, for example, searching for a topic. An example would be when a user searches for [[Achilleus]] (as in [[Achilleus (emperor)|the emperor]]), but ends up on the page titled [[Achilles]] (as in the mythical hero) after being redirected. A {{para|text}} option adds text to the end; note that this should be only used when truly necessary, and the other hatnote templates listed below don't suffice.

== Examples ==
* {{tlx|Redirect|Foo}} → {{Redirect|Foo}}
* {{tlx|Redirect|REDIRECT<nowiki>||</nowiki>PAGE1}} → {{Redirect|REDIRECT||PAGE1}}
* {{tlx|Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1}} → {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1}}
* {{tlx|Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}} → {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|USE3|PAGE3}}
* {{tlx|Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|and|PAGE2}} → {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|and|PAGE2}}
* {{tlx|Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} → {{Redirect|REDIRECT|USE1|PAGE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}}
* {{tlx|Redirect|Achilleus|the Emperor with this name|Achilleus (emperor)|other uses|Achilles (disambiguation)}} (as used on the page [[Achilles]]) → {{Redirect|Achilleus|the Emperor with this name|Achilleus (emperor)|other uses|Achilles (disambiguation)}}
