SaftRedirector is fork o MediaWiki extension Disambiguator that is trying tae dae faer Saft redirects what it does faer disambiguation paiges. It should allow you to designate all soft redirect pages with the __SOFTREDIR__ magic word (or an equivalent alias), which then marks them as such in the database. It is currently unclear if this will allow other extensions to handle soft redirect pages as a separate class of page.

Uisage
On wiki
Once SoftRedirector is installed, the best way to use it is to add the __SOFTREDIR__ magic word to a template that is then included in all of your soft redirect pages.
Once the magic word is in place, your soft redirects will all have the 'soft redirect' page property assigned to them in the database. This property resides in the page_props table.
You will also have two new special pages:
- Special:SoftRedirectPages - which lists all the soft redirect pages on your wiki.
- Special:SoftRedirectPageLinks - which lists all of the pages on your wiki that link to soft redirect pages.
Wi API
To list all the soft redirects:
api.php?action=query&list=querypage&qppage=softredirectpages
Tae leet aw the saft redirect airts:
api.php?action=query&list=querypage&qppage=SoftRedirectPageLinks
Note that on wikis running in MiserMode (all WMF wikis), both the special page and API interface for SoftRedirectPageLinks are limited to a certain number of results (typically 1000–5000).
To see if an individual page is a soft redirect page:
api.php?action=query&titles=Bug&prop=pageprops&ppprop=softredirect
If it is a soft redirect page it will include 'softredirect' in its pageprops.
Note that the softredirect pageprop, if present, will have its value set to an empty string, so be careful about testing it as a boolean.
