Editing Help/Links (section)

===Using a redirect as an alternative=== <!--T:170-->
</translate>
<translate><!--T:171--> An alternative way is to use [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Redirect</tvar>|redirect pages]].</translate>
<translate><!--T:172--> To create <tvar name="1">[[Get Piping Hot Coffee Here!]]</tvar>, use <tvar name="2"><nowiki>[[Get Piping Hot Coffee Here!]]</nowiki></tvar> and make it redirect to [[coffeehouse setup]] (please note: unlike above, what pops up when you point at the link, depending on your browser's support, is the text that is already shown).</translate>

<translate><!--T:173--> It is convenient if the redirect is already there or will also be of use elsewhere. However, there are a few drawbacks.</translate>

*<translate><!--T:174--> the popup does not show the destination page</translate>
*<translate><!--T:175--> "[[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Related changes</tvar>|Related changes]]" shows the changes in the ''redirect page'' not the redirect target</translate>
*<translate><!--T:176--> the redirect message that is shown on the target page slightly clutters it</translate>

<translate><!--T:177--> Using a piped link and a redirect together, it is possible to provide information in the hover box that is not the name of the linked page, for example, the value of a unit in terms of other units.</translate>
<translate><!--T:178--> In that case, it is possible to make a page whose page name is the information that you'd like in the link title, and which redirects to the page with a more appropriate name.</translate>
<translate><!--T:179--> For example, the page [[w:30.48 cm]] redirects to [[w:Foot (unit)]].</translate>
