{{#ifeq:{{Is interwiki link|{{{1}}}}}|yes|[[Category:Wikipedia interwiki soft redirects|{{PAGENAME}}]]|{{#ifexist:{{{1}}}||[[Category:Wikipedia soft redirects to nonexistent targets|{{PAGENAME}}|]]}}}}
has the following piece of code near the end: [[Category:Wikipedia soft redirects to nonexistent targets|{{PAGENAME}}|]]. It adds an unnecessary vertical bar after the PAGENAME which should be removed. ---CX Zoom(he/him) (let's talk|contribs) 09:18, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

- This in DiscussionTools appears to be the culprit. Nardog (talk) 13:27, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Show nothing in article space?
[edit]The guideline at Wikipedia:Soft redirect indicates that this template is not to be used in article space. Should we wrap it in {{main other}} to display nothing, or an error-tracking category, in article space? – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:30, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
