in thread Have parent 'Node ID' as link in 'Nodes You Wrote' node

if ( `_redir` == "root" )

No, that'd turn into one of the following, either:

if ( root == "root" )

or

if ( `_redir` == "root" )

neither of which looks like valid javascript to me. So you'd want something more like:

if ( "`_redir`" == "root" )

which would induce a syntax error if somehow you got a quote (or perhaps a trailing backslash) in your parameter value.

There needs to be an escape specifier for use in javascript strings. Perhaps:

if ( "`_redir\`" == "root" )

where that trailing \ tells the Free Nodelet templating to apply quotemeta to the parameter value (not implemented yet). I haven't checked exactly how escaping works in javascript strings, so quotemeta might not be appropriate. Perhaps `_redir"` would surround it in quotes and escape as appropriate.

    root is a URI component, so it could be escaped.

    if ( decodeURIComponent(`_redir"`) == "root" )

    I've discussed the need for a variables returned as JavaScript literals before. I even provided a workaround.

    if ( decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent('`_redir%`')) == "root" )
    if ( decodeURIComponent( '`_redir%`' ) == "root" )

      I'm not sure why you are thinking that it needs to be decoded twice. `_redir` expands to the parameter value, not to how that value might have been escaped in order to get passed through HTTP.

      I was aware of your work-around, which was part of why I was aware that a better solution was warranted. But, with the better solution, decodeURIComponent() would not be required.

        not to how that value might have been escaped in order to get passed

        Of course! I should have tested first :(

        I'm so used to seeing escaping an unescaping not being done when it should, I sometimes assumes it isn't done.
