Headsup: Deprecation of This is a Redirect and conversion towards Redirect category shell
The template This is a redirect and its shortcuts (foremost among them being redr) have been deprecated and should no longer be newly added to redirects; Redirect category shell or one of its shortcuts (Rcat shell, RCAT shell, redirect shell and Rcatsh) should be used instead.

Efforts are being made to convert already-existing transclusions of Redr/This is a redirect to Rcat shell/Redirect category shell, though considering the number of existing transclusions&mdash;slightly over 260,000 at the time of writing&mdash;this will take some time. Additional helping hands would be more than welcome.
