Template:Redr

This page is a redirect:

* Actually, this page is a template page. Each redirect page using this template will list its reasons in bullet point format like this, though. There is a maximum of 6 bullet points, because this page currently does not use a module, even though it should (and will, soon).

Shortcuts

This template should be used on redirect pages to classify redirects under particular redirect categories (rcats), such as, for example, Category:Redirects from other capitalizations.

Usage

{{Redr|rcat}}. For multiple reasons, {{Redr|rcat1|rcat2}} Do not place any templates before the #REDIRECT [[Link]]. Always place the template after the #REDIRECT [[Link]], to prevent breaking the redirect. It is recommended to leave a blank line between the redirect and the template for readability.

Examples

{{Redr|Not all redirects are useful, but some are.}}

produces

This page is a redirect:

From a Not all redirects are useful, but some are.

{{Redr|singular}}

produces

This page is a redirect:

From a singular to a plural term.

{{Redr|case}} or {{Redr|capitalization}}

produces

This page is a redirect:

From an alternative capitalization of the target page's title or a referenced term within the article. Usually these redirects are made solely to help with linking, because unpiped links only autocapitalize the first letter in a link, and the style guide requires most prose from using the capitalization of the in-game names of most features.

{{Redr|achievement|subtopic}} or {{Redr|advancement|subtopic}}

produces

This page is a redirect:

From the name of an advancement.
To a section of the target page. This section is also a subtopic of the target page.

List of reasons

Name	Produces	Category
Variations of words
`plural`	From a plural to a singular term. Possibly not necessary, discuss.	Category:Redirects from plurals
`singular`	From a singular to a plural term.	Category:Redirects to plurals
`inflection` or `past tense` or `present tense` or `future tense` or `tense` or `verb` or `verb tense` or `verb inflection` or `noun inflection` or `agent noun` or `gerund`	From one verb or noun inflection to another inflection. The different names for this reason produce slightly different text to match.	Category:Redirects from inflections
`capitalization` or `case` or `cap` or `caps`	From an alternative capitalization of the target page's title or a referenced term within the article. Usually these redirects are made solely to help with linking, as the first letter of each word is not case sensitive when searching.	Category:Redirects from other capitalizations
Typos and other valid ways to write a word
`miscapitalization` or `miscap`	From an incorrect capitalization of the target page's title. Usually these redirects are made solely to help with aid with searching, so this redirect should not be linked to directly.	Category:Redirects from miscapitalizations
`spelling` or `spell`	From an alternative spelling of the target page's title.	Category:Redirects from alternative spellings
`typo` or `misspelling` or `misspell`	From a typo (i.e. an incorrect way to spell one of the words in the target page).	Category:Typo redirects
`diacritic` or `diacritics`	From the page with the same name without diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, etc.) to the target page with diacritics.	Category:Redirects from titles without diacritics
Terminology and semantics related to the target page or its content
`alt` or `alt name` or `alternate` or `alternate name` or `alternative` or `alternative name` or `variant of`	From an alternate name of a feature described in the target page. This has many variants, such as longer name, shorter name, and synoynm.	Category:Redirects from alternative names
`old` or `former` or `historic` or `historical`	From a former name present in older versions of the game to the current name of the feature described in the target page.	Category:Redirects from former names
`short` or `shorter` or `short name` or `shorter name`	From a shorter name for a feature to an article with a longer name. The shorter name is a name that is sometimes used in the game instead of the normal name, or it is a name given by Mojang	Category:Redirects from shorter names
`long` or `longer` or `long name` or `longer name` or `compound` or `compound name`	From a longer name or compound name to an article with a shorter name. This name might be used in-game instead of the normal name sometimes, or it might be a longer name given by Mojang. A compound name is a name that is made by combining 2 names together. For example, "Blacksmith Villager" combines "Blacksmith" with "Villager".	Category:Redirects from longer names
Content that could be split into its own page
`se` or `sect` or `section` or `subtopic`	From a subtopic of the target page to the appropriate section of the target page. In most cases, the titles of these redirects are subtopics. For example, Slime chunk redirects to Slime, because slime chunks are simply chunks where slimes spawn in all biomes. Variants of features that are covered on the same page should use `subtopic` as well.	Category:Redirects to sections
`anchor` or `anchor section` or `anchor subtopic`	From a subtopic of the target page to the appropriate section of the target page, but the section is marked using an `{{Anchor}}` and does not appear in the page's table of contents.	Category:Redirects to anchors
`in game name` or `in-game name` or `ign` or `in game` or `in-game`	From an in game name of a block, item, entity, or other feature which does not warrant an article on its own, instead fitting as part of a larger article (i.e. an article that also describes other features). This includes `subtopic` reason. Therefore, you don't need to list both. An example would be Trader Llama redirecting to Llama, because that page has not been split. The redirect does not need to link to a section. It only needs to link to a larger article.	Category:Redirects from in-game names part of a larger article
`variant`	From a variant of the feature described in the target page.	Category:Redirects from variants
`variant ign`	The feature is a variant of the main features described in the target page, and this redirect is the name of the feature.	Category:Redirects from variants
`variant of ign`	This redirect is the in-game name of a variant of one of the features described in the main page. 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 `\|variant of ign` with `\|alt`. 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.	Category:Redirects from variants
Specific redirects for specific types of pages
`version`	From a short term alternate name of the version described in the target page, without stating the edition the version is in.	Category:Redirects from short version names
`advancement` or `achievement` or `advance` or `achieve`	From the name of an advancement or an achievement.	Category:Achievement and advancement redirects
`mcd` or `dungeons` or `minecraft dungeons`	From a page in mainspace to a page in the Minecraft Dungeons namespace.	Category:Redirects to Minecraft Dungeons space
Due to pages being moved or merged
`move` or `pm`	From a page move from a page which has been renamed to the target page of this redirect, usually to avoid breaking links to the old page name.	Category:Redirects from moves
`merge`	From a page which has been merged into another page. This redirect is kept to preserve the edit history.	Category:Redirects from merges
`history`	From a page with non-trivial edit history.	Category:Redirects with history
Due to terminology used on talk pages
`sh` or `sc` or `shortcut`	From a shortcut in any namespace to a page that is not a template.	Category:Redirects from shortcuts
`tsh` or `tsc` or `template shortcut`	From a template shortcut, used for convenience.	Category:Redirects from template shortcuts
Between namespaces
`xns` or `cross-namespace` or `cross namespace`	From the main namespace to another namespace. This redirect is questionable as it may interfere with user searches.	Category:Cross-namespace redirects
Other reasons
Other reasons not listed here	(The reason the editor entered)	Category:Redirects with reasons or Category:Miscellaneous redirects
No reason provided	No reason has been given.	Category:Redirects that use Redr for no reason

Guide when to use this template

To use this template, place it AFTER the #REDIRECT [[Link]]. Do NOT place the template before the #REDIRECT [[Link]], as this breaks the redirect as a whole. Here is a general guide on what to place (on the first column) and on the second column generally states when to insert the template. Since this is a general guide, there may be exceptions or other circumstances not listed.

Guide
Template	When to use
`{{Redr\|plural}}`	When the redirect name is plural, and the target page is singular
`{{Redr\|singular}}`	When the redirect name is singular, and the target page is plural
`{{Redr\|case}}`	When the capitalization of the redirect is different. For example, if the target is Zombified Piglin, Zombified piglin would be a valid redirect and adding `{{R}}` is useful, but Template:Fake redlink would not be a valid redirect.
`{{Redr\|alt}}`	For alternative names which the style guide allows
`{{Redr\|move}}`	When a page’s old name has been moved to a new name, usually, a redirect is left behind to prevent breaking links. Add this template to the redirect.
`{{Redr\|subtopic}}`	Usually when a notable redirect targets a specific subsection of a page, mainly because such subtopic does not warrant its own page.
`{{Redr\|ign\|subtopic}}`	When an in-game name of an block, entity, or item, like Acacia Boat does not warrant its own page, and is a subtopic, place this template to indicate both the “ign” reason and the “subtopic” reason.
`{{Redr\|historical}}`	When the redirect is a historical name pointing to the up-to-date target
`{{Redr\|version}}`	When the redirect is a short-term version name, usually excluding the edition. For example, 20w51a to Java Edition 20w51a
`{{Redr\|diacritics}}`	Because readers should not be expected to type diacritics, add this template to redirects with the same name, but without diacritics.
`{{Redr\|subtopic\|advancement}}`	For achievement or advancement redirects, state both the subtopic and achievement/advancement reason.
