Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a page move: This is a redirect from a page that has been moved (renamed). This page was kept as a redirect to avoid breaking links, both internal and external, that may have been made to the old page name.

From a short name: This is a redirect from a title that is a shortened form of a more complete page title, such as a person's full name or the unbroken title of a written work.
- Use this rcat (not {{R from initialism }} nor {{R from abbreviation }}) to tag redirects that are the initials of a person's name.

From a modification: This is a redirect from a modification of the target's title or a closely related title. For example, the words may be rearranged.
- Please note that there are many more specific templates. Please use {{R from alternative spelling }}, {{R from alternative hyphenation }}, {{R from alternative punctuation }}, {{R from alternative spacing }} and {{R from misquotation }} where relevant; see subcategories of Category:Redirects from modifications for other options (capitals, abbreviations, diacritics, plurals, stylizations, transliteration, ligatures, different parts of speech, etc.). If you are unsure which to use, this template is fine; someone will make it more specific later if necessary.
- In cases of modification from distinctly longer or shorter names, please use {{R from long name }} or {{R from short name }}, respectively. An abbreviation should be tagged with {{R from initialism }} or, if it can be spoken like a word such as NASA and RADAR, use {{R from acronym }}.
- Use this rcat instead of {{R from other capitalisation }} and {{R from plural }} in namespaces other than mainspace for those types of modification. This may also apply to several other subcategories of modification; please check those templates' output before saving if using outside of mainspace.

From a subpage: This is a redirect from a subpage. In a page title, a subpage name appears after a forward slash (/); for example, "Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Articles", which is a subpage of "Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket", redirects to Template:CricketRecentChanges. Not all articles or other pages with "/" in their titles are subpages (e.g. CP/M).
- If this redirect is in mainspace, then it will populate the Redirects with old history category bold-linked above; if in any other namespace, then Category:Redirects from subpages will be populated.

To a subpage: This is a redirect to a subpage. In a page title, a subpage name appears after a forward slash (/); for example, "Wikipedia:Technical move requests" redirects to Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests, which is a subpage of Wikipedia:Requested moves. Please note that not every page title with "/" in its title is a subpage. See this template's documentation for details.

From a template shortcut: This is a redirect from a shortcut page name in any namespace to a page in template namespace.
- Shortcuts are wikilinked on community pages, talk pages, and edit summaries, but not in mainspace articles. Transclusions in mainspace are common and do not need to be "fixed".

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
