to subtopic My gut feeling is that there is little substantive difference between Template:R from subtopic and Template:R to section. What is unfortunate is the merger of concepts underlying Template:R from subtopic and Template:R with possibilities]] as it is a truism that almost all tolerated titles and named concepts have the possibility of becoming an article though there might be a very small probability of this taking place User:Ceyockey.

Update: Template:Anchor preserves section anchors, even when the section heading changes. It also obviates the need to use HTML markup or code comments to preserve redirect link integrity. Template:Redirectstohere was deleted in July 2008.Template:R with possibilities is a qualitative assessment, not speculation. It implies that the topic should be developed further. Sometimes a disambiguation page is warranted. Obviously, not all redirects have development potential (e.g., name variations).
As for subtopics and sections, the answer is codified in the redirect category hierarchy:
Category:Redirects to related topics :Category:Redirects from subtopics
Category:Redirects to sections
What's the current consensus on whether redirects to sections are presumed to be subtopics? That is, does {{r to section}}
make {{r from subtopic}}
superfluous? For example, I made this edit knowing full well someone would probably disagree.
The discussion above doesn't seem entirely relevant now that {{redirectstohere}}
no longer exists. --[[User:SoledadKabocha|SoledadKabocha User talk:02:42, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Sounds like a job for a bot ==
Since you an always tell from syntax if a redirect is to a section or not, isn't the job of marking redirects as such best left to a WP:BOT? The bot could also categorize redirect to sections that are borken, i.e. the section got renamed w/o changing the redirect or including a div to keep the old section name valid, which honestly, I've not seen anyone use.
