This template produces a hatnote:
-
{{Redirect|Foo}}→"Foo" redirects here. For other uses, see Foo (disambiguation).
Its purpose is to reduce confusion by helping users get to their intended page if they were redirected to another page while, for example, searching for a topic. An example would be when a user searches for Achilleus (as in the emperor), but ends up on the page titled Achilles (as in the mythical hero) after being redirected.
Examples

{{Redirect|Foo}}→"Foo" redirects here. For other uses, see Foo (disambiguation). -
