:It occurred to me to also wonder if the first parameter could be empty:

::<code><nowiki>[[{{#invoke:redirect||RNAS_Kirkwall}}]]</nowiki></code> → [[{{#invoke:redirect||RNAS_Kirkwall}}]]

:Apparently not. So what about meaningless text?

::<code><nowiki>[[{{#invoke:redirect|sdjadrsgjlk|RNAS_Kirkwall}}]]</nowiki></code> → [[{{#invoke:redirect|sdjadrsgjlk|RNAS_Kirkwall}}]]

:Again, apparently not. So what about the name of a real article?

::<code><nowiki>[[{{#invoke:redirect|UP Aerospace|RNAS_Kirkwall}}]]</nowiki></code> → [[{{#invoke:redirect|UP Aerospace|RNAS_Kirkwall}}]]

:Nope. Is "main" some sort of secret word?
