{{to|Dekimasu}} probably should have just asked you if you know if this works at all as a true module redirect. Not questioning that redirects cannot be left behind during a module move; however, I do wonder if a redirect like this one could be ''manually'' left behind rather than adjusting all the templates and modules where a moved module was invoked?

:No, it is technically not possible to redirect to a module. When a module is invoked, the module is executed with the result being a table that the caller can use in any way that works. What is possible is for someone to check how a particular module works at the moment and put some very small code at the "redirect" page which executes the target module and returns its table. However, that is different from #REDIRECT. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 23:44, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
