CreateRedirect is a special page extension that eases creation of redirects. It displays a form that only asks for the origin page and the destination page, and then saves the page. It also adds a menu item to the side "toolbox" menu as a shortcut, and is able to pass through the current article's title through that shortcut to fill in the destination field automatically. It's convenient and great for batch edits!

[edit] Installation
- Download a snapshot and extract it to your extensions directory. Choose the version that matches your version of MediaWiki.
- Add
to the bottom of LocalSettings.php.require_once( "$IP/extensions/CreateRedirect/CreateRedirect.php" );
- Installation can now be verified through Special:Version of your wiki.
- The special page itself is accessible through Special:Createredirect.
[edit] Caveats
- The page text is hardcoded in English right now; i18n messages aren't actually implemented at this time. All messages, however, are included in the i18n file.
- This extension respects user permissions, but security is not thoroughly tested. It should work without a hitch, though. See source for details.
- While this extension has not been thoroughly tested, it's proven sufficient for everyday use and is used live on my own wiki. Our wiki is relatively mid-low-traffic and your mileage may vary.
- Although untested, this extension might work on previous MediaWiki versions.
[edit] Updates
[edit] May 11, 2007
- No updates to the code itself, but the files above are back up and working. Sorry about that!
[edit] December 11, 2007
- Minor
- CreateRedirect.setup.php: Fixed "toolbox" menu link, where the link was directed to my server and wiki. Fixed to link locally to the Wiki that extension is installed on.
