Redirect to:
- With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
- This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
- To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to a subsection or subheader, use {{R to subsection}}. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.
