Template:Soft redirect/doc

Summary

 * This template is for creating soft redirects, that is to say, short pages inviting readers to visit another page on a different MediaWiki project. This cannot be performed with a classical redirect due to technical restrictions.
 * This template is also used to redirect an entry to a special page, in which case hard redirects have been disabled.
 * Occasionally it is used to effectively disable a redirect that has been deprecated, e.g. WP:DIVA, in which case Historical is usually also used, above the soft redirect template.
 * For redirecting categories, use instead.
 * For all other redirects within the English Wikipedia, please continue to use.

This places tagged pages in Category:Wikipedia soft redirects or Category:User soft redirects.
