URL hijacking is an off-domain redirect technique [3] that exploited the nature of the search engine's handling for temporary redirects. If a temporary redirect is encountered, search engines have to decide whether they assign the ranking value to the URL that initializes the redirect or to the redirect target URL.
A proxy auto-config (PAC) file defines how web browsers and other user agents can automatically choose the appropriate proxy server (access method) for fetching a given URL. A PAC file contains a JavaScript function FindProxyForURL(url, host). This function returns a string with one or more access method specifications.
A URI Template is a way to specify a URI that includes parameters that must be substituted before the URI is resolved. It was standardized by RFC 6570 in March 2012. The syntax is usually to enclose the parameter in Braces ({example}). The convention is for a parameter to not be Percent encoded unless it follows a Question Mark (?).
The only redirect category templates that should be applied are {{R from statistical redirect}} and, if the redirect is in mainspace, {{R unprintworthy}}. These should be applied within the {{ Redirect category shell }} to ensure protection levels are detected and categorized appropriately.
If the redirect target is an existing page on English Wikipedia and a reader navigates to the redirect page – by wikilink, the search box, or a URL – the reader is taken directly to the target page. A small notice below the top title indicates that the user arrived via a redirect.
In other cases the URL may redirect to a valid one (for example, page titles are converted to their canonical form as they are when they appear in wikilinks). Shorter URL Wikipedia:URLShortener gives a way to make short URLs to Wikipedia pages.
Absolute URLs are URLs that start with a scheme [5] (e.g., http:, https:, telnet:, mailto:) [6] and conform to scheme-specific syntax and semantics. For example, the HTTP scheme-specific syntax and semantics for HTTP URLs requires a "host" (web server address) and "absolute path", with optional components of "port" and "query".
This article lists common URI schemes.A Uniform Resource Identifier helps identify a source without ambiguity. Many URI schemes are registered with the IANA; however, there exist many unofficial URI schemes as well.
