Anyone come across a way of doing this? Redirecting a page via an interwiki link? See here (http://www.pikminwiki.com/Talk:Steve); apparently it's possible, since it's done here (http://info.sonicretro.org/index.php?title=RNC&action=edit), but I guess they've made some server-side modifications or something.
Assuming you meant to use [[ ]] in the redirect code, no, it doesn't work. I tried the 'forward' ('local') argument before, as mentioned on the linked talk page, and, as expected, 'trans' doesn't do anything for redirects.
I've seen it done, but shouldn't one use a soft redirect for that anyways? It's kinda weird to click an in-wiki link and end up elsewhere.
It's possible. Set "Foward" to yes or true, for the specific interwiki code and then use the code for the redirect link.
#REDIRECT [[code:page name]]
The problem, as talked about in this thread (http://www.niwanetwork.org/forums/index.php?topic=713), it fills up the double-redirect list.

Yeah, I made that point on the talk page. This is also partly out of curiosity; It's not a decided-upon thing that it'll be a redirect, I don't think.

That's exactly what I was saying I tried in my post replying to a post that seems to have disappeared. I guess you've lost the context in not having seen that post...

Also, out of curiosity, did you read the thread i linked?
Yes.

Yes.
sounds good, Then i currently have nothing more to offer.
There's the generic way of creating an external link like you would see in the external links section of Wikipedia.
