Template:Category redirect/doc

Usage

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

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

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.
