Module:Redirect template handler is used to facilitate editor-friendly redirect template usage. This module is currently used with episode and fictional characters, elements and locations via Module:Television episode redirect handler and Module:Fiction redirect category handler.

Usage

edit

The module has two entry points setEpisodeRedirect(args) and setFictionalObjectRedirect(args, objectType).

The functions return a {{Redirect category shell}} and a boolean value if the redirect is the primary redirect. If an unknown parameter is used, the module also returns a warning about the usage and adds the page to tracking category.

local redirectTemplateHandler = require('Module:Redirect template handler')
local redirectCategoryShell, mainRedirect = redirectTemplateHandler.setEpisodeRedirect(args)
local redirectCategoryShell, mainRedirect = redirectTemplateHandler.setFictionalObjectRedirect(args, objectType)
