Template:Shortcut 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. The template will automatically categorize the page into Category:Soft redirects.
Guidelines
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.)
