User:JPaestpreornJeolhlna/Redirect categorization

This page serves to explain the current state of redirect categorization on the English Wikipedia.

About
The task of categorizing redirect pages on Wikipedia involves placing redirect templates onto individual redirects, which in turn add the redirects to the corresponding redirect categories.

Map
The following tree diagram schematically represents all relationships involving redirect categories and their respective templates on the English Wikipedia. To avoid redundancy, any subcategories of a repeatedly shown category are only shown on the first instance in which the repeated category appears.
