Purpose [edit]
Provides a magic word to automatically create a redirect page to the current page.
Usage [edit]
{{#autoredirect:namespace|page name [|alternateText] }} creates the specified page (page name) as a redirect to the current page i.e. the one containing the magic word. When the parameter 'alternateText' is present, it is used as indicator to create a link on the current with alternate text 'alternateText'; E.g. alternateText, which is shown when you type [[current page|alternateText]]

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 Extension:ExtensionManager does not require any modification to LocalSettings.php because ExtensionManager includes the extension.
Note that if PHP code caching is in place (e.g. APC, eAccelerator), then to successfully complete the installation a cache flush might be needed. - ↑ Modifications to
