User:Skittleys/Redirect templates

I find that the current categorisation of redirect templates is horrifying, and that the information on WHEN to use each is too scattered (it seems that the current recommendation is to include this info on the category page). So, I've made my own. If someone wants to upload it to the WP: namespace, feel free!

This listing will include all the redirect templates, including ones that redirect to another redirect template.

Title modifications
These templates are used for redirects with a very similar title. See also below for variations where the title changes completely.

Full title variations
Note: listed here are only the templates that are for general use.

Still to be added
This is a list of templates that still need to be added to the tables above.
