 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Category redirect. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage edit
Use on any category that should be redirected. This template should only be used on categories likely to be used by others, where another category already exists under a different name.
{{category redirect|correct category}}
Parameter edit
This template uses only one (unnamed) mandatory parameter. Enter the name of the correct category, ie. the target of the redirection. Do not include the "Category:" part of the page name.
A second parameter, category can be used to prevent any categorisation from taking place.
Categorisation edit
When used in the Category namespace, this template automatically sorts categories into Category:Category redirects. Two additional tracking categories will be added in certain circumstances:
- Category:Non-empty category redirects, if there are items in the category that need to be moved.
- Category:Broken category redirects, if the target category does not exist.
This behaviour can be deactivated by adding the code |category= to the template.
