-  ---- This module accepts the name of a single page.  It determines if the page is a redirect; if so it looks up the page, extracts the target, and returns the target name as text.  Its usage is {{#invoke:redirect|main|redirect-page-name}}.  The template neither takes nor gives square brackets, so to show the result as a link use [[{{#invoke:redirect|main|redirect-page-name}}]].  An error is produced if the redirect does not exist, but for versatility no error is given if the file is not a redirect (returns the original text) or if the file name is blank (returns blank).
