When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:
This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
From an avoided double redirect: This is a redirect from an alternative title or related topic of (redirect page name), another redirect to the same title. Because double redirects are disallowed, both pages currently point to (target article).
If (redirect page name) is retargeted or is expanded into a separate article, template, or other project page, this redirect will be recategorized to be updated.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
Template {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more rcat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information, see the documentation page below.
When used by itself:
From an avoided double redirect: This is a redirect from an alternative title or related topic of (redirect page name), another redirect to the same title. Because double redirects are disallowed, both pages currently point to (target article).
If (redirect page name) is retargeted or is expanded into a separate article, template, or other project page, this redirect will be recategorized to be updated.
Because the saved version of a page is used to determine if it is a redirect, this template may incorrectly give an error in preview mode. Save the page to be sure if the error is true or not.
