→Module redirect: reply to Paine Ellsworth |
|||
Line 8:
: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)
:I just noticed a relevant report at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Blue linked module page with an empty history]]. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 23:55, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
:Hi [[User:Paine Ellsworth|Paine]], I have been trying to stay away from the recent module discussions, particularly the move requests, and I'm not sure I can answer your questions intelligently. Hopefully at some point I will be able to deal with these issues more easily, but to me it seems like changing module setups through [[WP:RM]] or [[WP:RFD]] is asking for trouble. I think the RFC at [[Wikipedia talk:Templates for discussion]] may clean up some of the process issues and put editors who are technically proficient with the modules in charge of future changes.
