This template determines whether the page it is used on is a redirect or not. If it is used on a redirect, it returns its first parameter. Otherwise, it returns its second parameter. Either could be absent or empty.
For example:
{{Redirect other |yes|no}}
will display yes
on a redirect and no
on a non-redirect (test: on this page, it says "no");
{{Redirect other |text}}
will display text
on a non-redirect, and nothing on a redirect (test: on this page, it says "text");
{{Redirect other |text}}
will display text
on a redirect, and nothing on a non-redirect (test: on this page, it says "").
Remember to place a "1=" and/or "2=" prefix on the arguments if they contain equals signs.
