Template:Unref

[1]^(redirect)

Documentation

This template uses a redirecting website to mask the HTTP referer of outgoing links. In other words, it prevents websites from finding out that a certain visit has come from a link on RationalWiki. This is useful in some situations. (At least one crank website has been configured to redirect visits coming from RW to a porn site.)

The actual redirection method may vary with time as destination sites work around changes.

Usage

It behaves almost exactly as normal external links:

• passing only a URL results in a number-in-square brackets: {{unref|http://rationalwiki.org}} results in [2]^(redirect)
• a second parameter can be passed for a link description: {{unref|http://rationalwiki.org|RationalWiki}} results in RationalWiki^(redirect)
• the "redirect" label can be removed by adding a third (empty) parameter:
  • {{unref|http://rationalwiki.org|||}} results in [3]
  • {{unref|http://rationalwiki.org|RationalWiki|}} results in RationalWiki

For copy/paste:

 {{unref|}}
 {{unref|http://|Link}}
 {{unref|http://|Link|}}
