Module:Redirect

-- Given a single page name determines what page it redirects to and returns the target page name, or the -- passed page name when not a redirect. The passed page name can be given as plain text or as a page link. -- Returns page name as plain text, or when the bracket parameter is given, as a page link. Returns an -- error message when page does not exist or the redirect target cannot be determined for some reason.

-- Thus these are roughly the same: -- and
