| description-short = User script to easily manage redirects

| description = This user script enables convenient editing and creation of redirects. Although it serves a similar purpose to Wugapodes' "Capricorn" and its earlier versions, this script is completely different. It has been redesigned with enhanced user-friendliness and incorporates new features.

| usage = This script's editor can be accessed in the following ways:

  • Using the automatically set up dialog on redirect pages
  • Can be started when clicking "Create redirect" on a nonexistent page
  • Can be started by clicking "Redirect page" in the "More"/"Tools" menu on an existing article

| configuration = This script can be configured via a {{code|window.redirectHelperConfig}} object to your common.js. This takes the following form:

window.redirectHelperConfiguration = {

createdWatchMethod: 'nochange' | 'preferences' | 'unwatch' | 'watch',

};

By default, redirects that are created will use the {{code|preferences}} watchlist change method, following the {{myprefs|Watchlist|Watched pages|check={{int:tog-watchdefault}}}} configuration field. This can be changed through {{code|createdWatchMethod}} to either {{code|nochange}} (don't change watch settings for the created page), {{code|unwatch}} (unwatch the created page), or {{code|watch}} (watch the created page).

For example, to not change watch settings for created pages, add the following to your common.js:

window.redirectHelperConfiguration = {

createdWatchMethod: 'nochange',

};

This can be overridden manually through the UI in the form of a checkbox.
