Template:Redr

File:Template-info.svg Documentation Edit this documentation at Template:Redr/doc.

(edit • history • purge)

This template should be used on redirect pages to classify redirects under particular redirect categories (rcats), such as, for example, Category:Redirects from other capitalizations.

Usage

{{Redr|rcat}}. For multiple reasons, {{Redr|rcat1|rcat2}} Do not place any templates before the #REDIRECT [[Link]]. Always place the template after the #REDIRECT [[Link]], to prevent breaking the redirect. It is recommended to leave a blank line between the redirect and the template for readability.

Examples

Guide when to use this template

To use this template, place it AFTER the #REDIRECT [[Link]]. Do NOT place the template before the #REDIRECT [[Link]], as this breaks the redirect as a whole. Here is a general guide on what to place (on the first column) and on the second column generally states when to insert the template. Since this is a general guide, there may be exceptions or other circumstances not listed.

Guide
Template	When to use
{{Redr|plural}}	When the redirect name is plural, and the target page is singular
{{Redr|singular}}	When the redirect name is singular, and the target page is plural
{{Redr|case}}	When the capitalization of the redirect is different. For example, if the target is Zombified Piglin, Zombified piglin would be a valid redirect and adding {{R}} is useful, but Template:Fake redlink would not be a valid redirect.
{{Redr|alt}}	For alternative names which the style guide allows
{{Redr|move}}	When a page’s old name has been moved to a new name, usually, a redirect is left behind to prevent breaking links. Add this template to the redirect.
{{Redr|subtopic}}	Usually when a notable redirect targets a specific subsection of a page, mainly because such subtopic does not warrant its own page.
{{Redr|ign|subtopic}}	When an in-game name of an block, entity, or item, like Acacia Boat does not warrant its own page, and is a subtopic, place this template to indicate both the “ign” reason and the “subtopic” reason.
{{Redr|historical}}	When the redirect is a historical name pointing to the up-to-date target
{{Redr|version}}	When the redirect is a short-term version name, usually excluding the edition. For example, 20w51a to Java Edition 20w51a
{{Redr|diacritics}}	Because readers should not be expected to type diacritics, add this template to redirects with the same name, but without diacritics.
{{Redr|subtopic|advancement}}	For achievement or advancement redirects, state both the subtopic and achievement/advancement reason.
