Wikipedia:Template index/Redirect pages

This is a list of maintenance templates which are used to categorize redirect pages.

It is considered helpful to put redirects into categories where appropriate, see Categorizing redirects. For pages which should ultimately be handled by a full article, add both and one or more stub sorting templates to draw attention to the needed article.

Redirect templates are designed to be used together. For example, the redirect "Architechts" uses both and. can be used to group multiple templates on a single page by listing the appropriate redirect templates as its parameter (similar to and ).

Hidden categories
Most of the categories populated by redirect category (rcat) templates are hidden categories. Hidden categories cannot be seen by viewers who are not logged in, nor by editors who have not set their preferences to view them. So if you have tagged a redirect with an rcat and saved the redirect, but you cannot see the category, the first thing to check is if you have set your preferences to view hidden cats: You may need to purge your browser cache to ensure that you can see hidden cats in the future.

 * Look for "significant" words, because in this listing the leading "R" and the words "for, from, to and with" are ignored except when the subjects are identical (e.g. and ). To make them easier to find, some rcats are listed more than once. For example, R from postal abbreviation will be found with the "P" group as well as with the "A" group.
 * Printability (in mainspace only) keys for third column of table:

 * 4) Unprintable – rcat will populate R unprintworthy by default
 * 5) * Hard = cannot be altered
 * 6) * Soft = can be altered to printworthy by a parameter
