Often it's useful to create a redirect that has a title that includes something such as an identifier, or a date and time, or random letters, etc. It would be good if RedirectManager could allow such patterns to be defined (e.g. site-wide as a system message, and perhaps also per-user as a preference value). For example, in the dialog below the list of existing redirects, it could have a list such as: * Next item identifier: `RB{number}` * Current date: `{date:Y-m-d}` * Random shortcut: `Person {rand:length=4|chars=ABCDEFGHJKMNPQRSTUVWXYZ23456789}` And next to each list item would be a 'Use' button which would put that value into the input box at the top (the user would still have to click the 'Add' button).
