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).
Credit to MCW
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

{{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 or an achievement.
- To a section of the target page. In most cases, the titles of these redirects are subtopics.

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 ZoMbIfIeD pIgLiN 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|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. |
