A soft redirect is a very short page that essentially tells users to look at another site to obtain the information they were seeking.
To create a soft redirect, place the {{Soft redirect}} template on the page (e.g. {{Soft redirect|http://cotw.cc/wiki/http://cotw.cc/wiki/Green_knowledge_ecosystem|Green knowledge ecosystem on the COTW wiki}}).
The template will automatically categorize the page into Category:Soft redirects.
Guidelines[edit | edit source]
Soft redirects should generally only to point to wiki sites, and generally should be applied or approved by an admin. (This is a proposed guideline. Discuss changes on the talk page.)
