I want to do a redirection for Permalink and I came tot the same problem.
But I think I have a really nice workaround for the problem but it involves some small edits on all existing pages that are linking to the Permalink page and Template:Permalink.
Current situation:
* linking to the Permalink section is done by: [[Permalink]]
* including the explanation of Permalink on a page (template): {{Permalink}}
* Permalink page: redirect to the Permalink section
* Template page: explanation of Permalink
Suggestion A:
* linking to the Permalink section: {{Permalink}}
* including the explanation of Permalink on a page: {{:Permalink}}
* Permalink page: explanation of Permalink
* Template page: Simple link to Permalink section:
Code: Select all
[[Waze_Map_Editor#Permalink|Permalink]]
Suggestion B: The opposite of A:
* linking to the Permalink section: {{:Permalink}}
* including the explanation of Permalink on a page: {{Permalink}}
The question is what do you want to show the user if he reaches the permalink page?
* Redirect (current behaviour)
* Only the explaination of Permalink
* A link where the full explaination of Permalink can be found
* Customized text. (with the use of <noinlcude> and <includeonly> almost everything is possible)
What doesn't work is combining #REDIRECT with <noinclude> or <includeonly>
