:::Regular redirect is <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Page]]</nowiki>, while hard redirect is <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[:en:Page]]</nowiki>. We are including hard redirects in [[Wiki help#Redirects]] for maximum compatibility. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 15:46, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

:::: Hello Piotr - from MediaWiki's standpoint, both are the same type of redirect. The "en" prefix is just for inter-language compatibility: you can also create links to <nowiki>[[:de:Wilkommen]]</nowiki>, for example: [[:de:Wilkommen]]. Since we are already on "en", the links <nowiki>[[Home]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[:en:Home]]</nowiki> are the same. Likewise with redirects, putting ":en" adds no difference. Try it! You will see they are the same - both "hard" redirects. If you put "en" there, it's what MediaWiki calls an "Interwiki redirect."

::::: It does have a difference. If not for :en:, [[Crash]] wouldn't be [[crash]]. The page has a description of hard redirect that is not true for a regular redirect. While it is not intentional MediaWiki behavior, it's required for this migration. [[2 1]] and [[531441 524288]] have an excellent use of the hard redirect.

== Removed links to it ==

This page is protected in a state where it breaks the [[Conventions]]. Therefore it is not a proper {{SITENAME}} page and all links to it are removed.
