| 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.
- Instead of this template, use {{R from acronym}} for acronyms pronounced as words, such as NATO and RADAR; or
- Use {{R from initialism}} for those pronounced as letters, such as CIA and HIV; or
- Use {{R from short name}}, instead, for the initials of a person's name, and other shortenings not typically classed as abbreviations.
- 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.
- 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.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized. |
