- From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- From personal name: This is a redirect from an individual's personal name to an article titled with the subject's professional stage name, pen name, or other better known moniker.
- This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names; it may help writing and aid searches. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- If this is the name of a living person, then one or more reliable sources must be included in the target article that will support the existence of this personal name, or else a reference(s) must be added to this redirect's talk page. This is in accord with Wikipedia's biography of living persons (BLP) policy, which applies to all Wikipedia pages, to include redirects.
- Use this rcat only on redirects that are in Wikipedia's main-article namespace, and only when the personal name differs from the subject's name when born. If the redirect title is the subject's birth name, use {{R from birth name}} instead.
