Soft redirect

Per Fandom
A very short article or page that essentially points the reader in the direction of another page. Used in cases where a normal redirect is inappropriate for various reasons (e.g., it is a cross-wiki redirect).

Per Wikimedia
A soft redirect is a replacement of usual or "hard" redirects and is used where the destination is a, or in rare cases another website (e.g. targets). They may also be used for local targets in some cases. Soft redirects differ in that they leave the reader on the redirect page, requiring them to click through to the redirected link as opposed to automatically taking them there.

Unlike normal redirects, a soft redirect does not use special code or functionality of the wiki software. All they consist of is a notification to users, showing the destination to another site to obtain the information they were seeking. Another situation where soft redirects are used is when the intended target is a special page, and the system automatically "softens" attempted hard redirects to special pages. For example, redirects to.

Soft redirects to non-English language editions should be avoided because they will generally be unhelpful to English-language readers.

Soft redirects are intended mostly for external use, where hard redirects will not function. For internal use in general, hard redirects should be used instead.
