This user script enables convenient editing and creation of redirects. Although it serves a similar purpose to
Wugapodes' "Capricorn" and its earlier versions, this script is completely different. It has been redesigned with enhanced user-friendliness and incorporates new features.
Usage
This script's editor can be accessed in the following ways:
- Using the automatically set up dialog on redirect pages
- Can be started when clicking "Create redirect" on a nonexistent page
- Can be started by clicking "Redirect page" in the "More"/"Tools" menu on an existing article
Recent notable changes
For a more detailed changelog, see the script's GitHub commit history.
