Usage

The {{Ifexist not redirect}} template can be used to identify a page which exists, is not blank, and is not a redirect; whereas {{ifexist}} will only check whether the page exists.

Use the format <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">return if true</syntaxhighlight>. The 2nd and 3rd parameters are used to define the output of the template if the condition is true or false, respectively. If not defined the default output is "yes" if true and empty if false.
