This template does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. It is of interest to the following WikiProjects:

Redirect This page is within the scope of WikiProject Redirect, a collaborative effort to improve the standard of redirects and their categorization on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks. Note: This banner should be placed on the talk pages of project, template and category pages that exist and operate to maintain redirects. This banner is not designed to be placed on the talk pages of most redirects and almost never on the talk pages of mainspace redirects. For more information see the template documentation.

Template:Soft redirect is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories. Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases.

@Jc86035: The code in this template intended to avoid problems with double colons in links (e.g. [[::de:Foo]]) is unnecessarily complicated.

Please replace:

[[:{{#invoke:String|match|1={{{1}}}|2=^:*(.-)$}}|{{{2|{{#invoke:String|match|1={{{1}}}|2=^:*(.-)$}}}}}]]

With:

{{#ifeq:{{First character|{{{1}}}}}|:|[[{{{1}}}]]|[[:{{{1}}}]]}}

I've already implemented this approach in pl:Szablon:Softredirect. Matma Rex talk 21:08, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please change "March 18" to "March 17" in the TfD link: the wrong date was picked up because the tagging took place the day after the nomination. 116.86.4.41 (talk) 08:10, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

{{#ifeq:{{Is interwiki link|{{{1}}}}}|yes|[[Category:Wikipedia interwiki soft redirects|{{PAGENAME}}]]|{{#ifexist:{{{1}}}||[[Category:Wikipedia soft redirects to nonexistent targets|{{PAGENAME}}|]]}}}}
has the following piece of code near the end: [[Category:Wikipedia soft redirects to nonexistent targets|{{PAGENAME}}|]]. It adds an unnecessary vertical bar after the PAGENAME which should be removed. ---CX Zoom(^he/_him) (^{let's talk}|_contribs) 09:18, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
