== Usage ==
This template provides an easy way to link a redirect page without following the redirect.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{no redirect|page name|label}}</syntaxhighlight>

It accepts two unnamed parameters:
* 1= (required) the name of the page to link.
* 2= (optional) the text to be displayed. If this is omitted then the input of the first parameter is used.

=== Example ===
Instead of having to copy/paste or type:
* <code><nowiki>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Silence_of_the_Sea&redirect=no ''The Silence of the Sea'']</nowiki></code>
** to yield [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Silence_of_the_Sea&redirect=no ''The Silence of the Sea'']
an editor can type:
* <code><nowiki>''{{No redirect|The Silence of the Sea}}''</nowiki></code>
or an '''<span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:No_redirect&hidelinks=1&hidetrans=1 alias]</span>''' can be used, as in:
* <code><nowiki>''{{-r|The Silence of the Sea}}''</nowiki></code>
Both of those will take users ''directly'' to the same redirect page and display its pagename as a bluelink thus (using the alias): ''{{-r|The Silence of the Sea}}''.

The second parameter (label) may be useful in discussions on talk pages. For example,
* <code><nowiki>{{-r|The Silence of the Sea|this redirect}}</nowiki></code>

may appear on a talk page in this context: "For reference, see {{-r|The Silence of the Sea|this redirect}}."

If there is no page with that name given by the first parameter, the template generates a redlink as for any article name:
* <code><nowiki>{{-r|Bill Clinton (nickname)}}</nowiki></code> displays as {{-r|Bill Clinton (nickname)}}

Also, if a page is not a redirect, a normal link is displayed:
* <code><nowiki>{{-r|Bill Clinton}}</nowiki></code> displays as {{-r|Bill Clinton}}
