*** However, either the variant is not described in the target page, or this redirect is simply a variant of the feature. In the latter case, you should edit this redirect, and replace <code>{{!}}variant of ign</code> with <code>{{!}}alt</code>.
*** Also, the feature does not have a section on the page. The page is probably an overview page, and the feature this redirect relates to is probably a variant of the main feature of the page.
*** Consider removing this redirect, since it might not be necessary. {{#if: {{{nocat|}}} || [[Category:Redirects from variants]] [[Category:Bad redirects]] }}<!--
