Redirection Variables adds a few handy referer tracking variables usable inside of redirects created by the WordPress plugins [Redirection](https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/), [Safe Redirect Manager](https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-redirect-manager/), and [Pretty Links](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pretty-link/).
