== Summary ==
* This template is for creating [[Wikipedia:Soft redirect|soft redirects]], that is to say, short pages inviting readers to visit another page on a different [[meta:Wikimedia projects|Wikimedia project]]. This cannot be performed with a classical redirect due to technical restrictions.
* This template is also used to redirect an entry to a [[Help:Special page|special page]], in which case hard redirects have been disabled.
* Occasionally it is used to effectively disable a redirect that has been deprecated, e.g. [[WP:DIVA]], in which case {{tl|Historical}} is usually also used, above the soft redirect template.
* For redirecting [[WP:CAT|categories]], use {{Tlx|Category redirect}} instead.
* For all other redirects within the English Wikipedia, please continue to use <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Other article]]</nowiki></code>.

This places tagged pages in [[:Category:Wikipedia soft redirects]] or [[:Category:User soft redirects]].

== Usage ==
=== Single parameter ===
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Soft redirect|''target''}}</code>

'''Example'''

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Soft redirect|Meta:Template:Interwiki redirect}}</code> will produce:

{{Soft redirect|Meta:Template:Interwiki redirect}}
===Two parameters===
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Soft redirect|''target''|''label''}}</code>

'''Example'''

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Soft redirect|Lawn mower|grasscutter}}</code> will produce:

{{Soft redirect|Lawn mower|grasscutter}}

''Please remember that this is just to illustrate the second "label" parameter. Template:Soft redirect should not be used when {{code|#REDIRECT [[Lawn mower]]}} should be used.''
