This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
To its plural form: This is a redirect from a singular noun to its plural form.
Redirects of this sort exist for reader convenience in cases of singular–plural pairs. It is also used for "false singulars", wherein the plural or plural-looking form is better attested in usage, such that the normal "prefer the singular" Misplaced Pages naming convention is not followed. Examples:
Use this rcat to tag qualified mainspace redirects only; if qualified singular forms are found in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead.
From a title with ligatures: This is a redirect from a page name that has ligatures – (Æ or æ; Œ or œ; IJ or ij, or ß) – to essentially the same page name without ligatures.
Apply this redirect (without piping) when the subject page concerns language translation or foreign language equivalents. Other pages that use this redirect should be updated with a direct link to the redirect target (again, without piping).
Always sort these redirects with {{DEFAULTSORT:(title without ligatures)}} on the first new line after the categorization template(s).
From archaic spelling: This is a redirect from a title with an archaic or archaized spelling of the target name. Pages that link to this redirect may be updated to link directly to the target page if that results in an improvement of the text. Do not "fix" such links if they are not broken. Also, these links should not be replaced with piped links.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
