| This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
- From an abbreviation: This is a redirect from an abbreviation to a related topic, such as the expansion of the abbreviation. Use this template for any length reduction other than the following.
- Instead of this template:
- use {{R from acronym}} for abbreviations that are pronounced as words, such as NATO and RADAR;
- use {{R from initialism}} for those abbreviations that are pronounced as letters, such as CIA and HIV;
- use {{R from short name}} for the initials of a person's name or for any other length reduction that is not typically classed as an abbreviation.
- From an alternative name: This is a redirect from a title that is another name or identity such as an alter ego, a nickname, or a synonym of the target, or of a name associated with the target.
- This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names to aid searches and writing. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- If this redirect is an incorrect name for the target, then {{R from incorrect name}} should be used instead.
- Mentioned in a hatnote: This is a redirect from a title that is mentioned in a hatnote at the redirect target. The mention is usually atop the target article. It may, however, be directly under a section header, or in another article's hatnote (whenever the hatnote is under a section, {{R to section}} should also be used).
- The titles of redirects mentioned in hatnotes may refer to a subject other than that of the target page. It is possible that this redirect may need to be retargeted, or become an article under its own title (see {{R with possibilities}}). If the title is a good candidate for a Wiktionary link, it may also be added.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized. |
