Returns yes when |1=somepagename is a redirect, and a <blank space> when not a redirect.

Talkpage handling

jhyuk

By default, a check specifying a talk page is performed on the corresponding subject page (it's associated page in mainspace, or in Template space, etc.).

To check the talkpage itself, both use |talk=yes and the talk page name.
{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism|talk=yes}}

Background. By default, when entering a Talkpage to check (like Talk:Autism), the check is performed on the subject page. This stems from the module used. For example:

Page to check: Talk:Autism: {{Is redirect|Talk:Autism}}
Current pages status: Autism is a redirect, A‌̱lyiat:Autism is not a redirect (it has content).
{{Is redirect}} returns:
{{Is redirect|Autism}}Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:Aye
{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism}}Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:Question mark (unexpected for the talkpage itself)
Applying Talk:Autism:
{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism|talk=yes}}Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:Aye
Applying the súbject page Autism:
{{Is redirect|Autism|talk=yes}}Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:Aye (|talk=yes for a súbject page name checks the subject page, not the associated talk page)

Usage
