Configuration

Permanently redirect

If you want to redirect permanently (e.g. using to divide your site), add this variable to LocalSettings.php.

$wgSuppleRedirectPermanently = true;

By default (if not set), may be used 307 Temporary Redirect.

Exclude some titles

If you want to exclude some titles, you can set $wgSuppleRedirectExcludes on LocalSettings.php as follows.

$wgSuppleRedirectExcludes = [ "Example", "Test" ];

You must set uppercase the first character because of MediaWiki's restriction.

But you may not restricted with $wgCapitalLinks = false.

Timeout

This extension timed out 60 seconds by default to call MediaWiki Rest API.

We recommend to set shorten "default_socket_timeout" on php.ini as possible.

Notes

Create new page

This extension replace red links automatically if same article provided on other site worked MediaWiki.

If you want to create a new page, open the full URL with redirect=no. for example:

https://yourwiki.example.com/index.php?redirect=no&title=New_article

e.g. on wikitext:

[{{fullurl:New article|redirect=no}} Create "new article" on this site]
