With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}}when appropriate.
Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
{{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
From a band name: This is a redirect from a musical band or musical group name that redirects to an article on a single person, i.e. the band or group leader.
This template should not appear on a page solely with the name of a person who is a member of a group in its title that redirects to a band or group name. In that case, use {{R from member}}instead. If the redirected subtopic could potentially have its own article in the future, then also use {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}. If independent notability of the subject can be shown, then be bold and convert this redirect into an article on the subtopic.
An {{anchor|(anchor name)}} or {{visible anchor}} template, a HTML element with id="(anchor name)", or an |id=(anchor name) parameter might be installed at the beginning of a paragraph, in or near a section header or within a table. The anchor might also be an old section header that has been edited and is anchored within or near the new header to prevent broken internal and external links.
Even though section headers of the general form ==(Header name)== are themselves a type of anchor, use {{R to section}}instead.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
