User:JPaestpreornJeolhlna/Redirect categorization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

About[edit]

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[edit]

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.
