Redirect to:
- To a list entry: This is a redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry.
- For redirects from a topic to a related list and not to an entry on that list, use {{R from list topic}} instead.
- To an embedded anchor: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to an embedded anchor on the redirect's target page.
- An
{{anchor|(anchor name)}}
or{{visible anchor}}
template, a HTML element withid="(anchor name)"
, or an|id=(anchor name)
parameter might be installed at the beginning of a paragraph, in or near a section header or within a table. The anchor might also be an old section header that has been edited and is anchored within or near the new header to prevent broken internal and external links. - Even though section headers of the general form
==(Header name)==
are themselves a type of anchor, use {{R to section}} instead.
- An
- From a phrase: This is a redirect from a phrase to a more general relevant article covering the topic.
- Phrases should only have an individual article when there is enough (usually historical background) material to warrant a detailed article on the genesis and sociological impact of the phrase in question.
- If the phrase is a catchphrase, use {{R from catchphrase}}; if it is a slogan, then use {{R from slogan}}; if it is a quotation, then use {{R from quotation}}.
- From a modification: This is a redirect from a modification of the target's title or a closely related title. For example, the words may be rearranged.
- Please note that there are many more specific templates. Please use {{R from alternative spelling}}, {{R from alternative hyphenation}}, {{R from alternative punctuation}}, {{R from alternative spacing}} and {{R from misquotation}} where relevant; see subcategories of Category:Redirects from modifications for other options (capitals, abbreviations, diacritics, plurals, stylizations, transliteration, ligatures, different parts of speech, etc.). If you are unsure which to use, this template is fine; someone will make it more specific later if necessary.
- In cases of modification from distinctly longer or shorter names, please use {{R from long name}} or {{R from short name}}, respectively. An abbreviation should be tagged with {{R from initialism}} or, if it can be spoken like a word such as NASA and RADAR, use {{R from acronym}}.
- Use this rcat instead of {{R from other capitalisation}} and {{R from plural}} in namespaces other than mainspace for those types of modification. This may also apply to several other subcategories of modification; please check those templates' output before saving if using outside of mainspace.
