Help on processing instructions
Processing instructions control how a page is processed. Processing instructions must be entered at the first line, start with a hash (#) character followed by a keyword in capital letters and optionally followed by a space and an argument. Below are the processing instructions recognized by OpenWiki.Contents |
#REDIRECT
The syntax for this processing instruction is:
#REDIRECT <PageName>
If this processing instruction appears on the first line of a page the contents of the page will not be shown, instead you will be redirected to the page <PageName>. This is useful because it allows similar pagenames to share the same page content. Redirections are not recursive, only the first redirection will be used.
Example: if you go to Special:Wiki Sand Box you will be redirected to Special:Sand Box.
Editing a redirected page is easy. In the above example, after you've been redirected, simply click on the title Special:Wiki Sand Box and you're in the edit mode of that page. Click on the "Preview" button if you then want to see the page as it would look like if it wasn't redirected.
