How about 'url/link' or 'next_url' for the first parameter and 'delay' 
for the second one? I think in this case 'delay' would describe its 
function better than 'in'. If delay=0 that means we're redirecting 
immediately. If delay parameter is not specified that means we're 
waiting for the user to click the link.
