Manual:Redirect table

The redirect table contains for each page that is currently a 1>m:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Redirect|redirect (i.e., not for old revisions which are redirects) the id of the source page and the information about target. The target page may or may not exist.

Fields
A target is broken into four parts: interwiki prefix (should be empty for a regular redirect), namespace, title and fragment.

rd_from
Contains the  of the source page.

rd_namespace
Contains the number of the target's .

rd_title
Contains the sanitized title of the target page. It is stored as text, with spaces replaced by underscores.

rd_fragment
Contains 1>m:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Section#Section_linking_and_redirects|the target's fragment ID if present (see also 218), otherwise is NULL.

rd_interwiki
This field is not empty only if an is used: #REDIRECT &#91;[prefix:…]] (a prefix such as "w:" for Wikipedia, or an 4>m:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Interwiki_linking#Interlanguage_links|interlanguage link prefix such as "nl:" for Dutch, but not both). In this case a redirect is not visible in Special:WhatLinksHere</> (even if the target lies in the same wiki), <tvar|2> </> is always 0 and <tvar|3> </> may contain a possible namespace prefix, but <tvar|4> </> may be non-NULL.
