This page is a redirect:
 
* Actually, this page is a template page. Each redirect page using this template will list its reasons in bullet point format like this, though. There is a maximum of 6 bullet points, because this page currently does not use a module, even though it should (and will, soon).
Documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
To edit the text for the reasons, you can do so at Template:Redr/Reason if you're an autoconfirmed user.

This template should be used on redirect pages to classify redirects under particular redirect categories (rcats), such as, for example, Category:Redirects from other capitalizations.

Usage

{{Redr|rcat}}. For multiple reasons, {{Redr|rcat1|rcat2}} Do place any templates before the #REDIRECT [[Link]]. Always place the template after the #REDIRECT [[Link]], to prevent breaking the redirect. It is recommended to leave a blank line between the redirect and the template for readability.

Parameters

Named parameters

The template accepts the following named parameters:

Named Parameter Effect
|nocat=1 Prevents {{Redr/Reason}} from automatically adding any categories.
|nl=1 Prevents {{Redr/Reason}} from adding the text * From a to the start of the redirect reason. You can use this to change the formatting of the list item or the text. For example, if you need it to start with From an, To a, or any other phrase, use |nl=1.

This parameter also determines whether to put the redirect in [[Category:Redirects with reasons]] or [[Category:Miscellaneous redirects]].

Un-named parameters get passed to {{Redr/Reason}}.

  • i.e. the parameters |1=, |2=, |3=, etc.

All of the examples below use un-named parameters.

Examples

{{Redr|Not all redirects are useful, but some are.}}

Produces

This page is a redirect:
 
  • From a Not all redirects are useful, but some are..

You might want to use |nl=1 to use custom reasons like the one above (see § Extra examples).



{{Redr|singular}}

Produces

This page is a redirect:
 
  • From a singular to a plural term.

{{Redr|case}} or {{Redr|capitalization}}

Produces

This page is a redirect:
 
  • From an alternative capitalization of the target page's title or a referenced term within the article. Usually these redirects are made solely to help with linking, because unpiped links only autocapitalize the first letter in a link, and the style guide prevents most prose from using the capitalization of the in-game names of most features.

{{Redr|achievement|subtopic}} or {{Redr|advancement|subtopic}}

Produces

This page is a redirect:
 
  • From the name of an advancement.
  • To a subtopic of the target page.

List of reasons

Name Produces Category
Variations of words
plural or pl From a plural word to the page title in singular. Category:Redirects from plurals
singular From a singular to a plural term. Category:Redirects to plurals
inflection or past tense or present tense or future tense or tense or verb or verb tense or verb inflection or noun inflection or agent noun or gerund From one verb or noun inflection to another inflection. The different names for this reason produce slightly different text to match. Category:Redirects from inflections
capitalization or case or cap or caps From an alternative capitalization of the target page's title or a referenced term within the article. Usually these redirects are made solely to help with linking, as the first letter of each word is not case sensitive when searching. Category:Redirects from other capitalizations
Typos and other possible or valid ways to write a word
miscapitalization or miscapor miscaps From an incorrect capitalization of the target page's title. Usually these redirects are made solely to help with aid with searching, so this redirect should not be linked to directly. Category:Redirects from miscapitalizations
spelling or spell From an alternative spelling of the target page's title. Category:Redirects from alternative spellings
language or dialect or dialectal From an alternative dialectal English name. See Language#Differences between English variants. Category:Redirects from dialectal forms
brit or british From a British English spelling of the target page's title. Category:Redirects from British spellings
lang or en-gb or engb or en-au or enau or en-nz or ennz or en-ca or enca From an alternate in-game English dialectal variant of the target page's title. Category:Redirects from in-game English variant spellings
typo or misspelling or misspell From a typo (i.e. an incorrect way to spell one of the words in the target page). This should only be reserved for plausible and common typos. Category:Typo redirects
diacritic or diacritics From the page with the same name without diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, etc.) to the target page with diacritics. Category:Redirects from titles without diacritics
disambig or disambiguation or disambiguator From a plausible disambiguation title that editors may assume the page would be under. Category:Redirects from disambiguators
Terminology and semantics related to the target page or its content
alt or alt name or alternate or alternate name or alternative or alternative name or variant of From an alternate name of a subject described in the target page. This has many variants, such as longer name, shorter name, and synoynm. Category:Redirects from alternative names
search or search term From a plausible related search term Category:Redirects from search terms
old or former or historic or historical From a former name present in older versions of the subject to the current name of the subject described in the target page. Category:Redirects from former names
short or shorter or short name or shorter name From a shorter name for a subject to an article with a longer name. The shorter name is a name that is sometimes used instead of the normal name, or it is a name given by Mojang Category:Redirects from shorter names
long or longer or long name or longer name or compound or compound name From a longer name or compound name to an article with a shorter name. This name might be used instead of the normal name sometimes, or it might be a longer name. A compound name is a name that is made by combining 2 names together. For example, "Blacksmith Villager" combines "Blacksmith" with "Villager". Category:Redirects from longer names
allcaps or fullcaps or allcap or fullcap From a subject that is officially styled in uppercase letters without any lowercase letters. Category:Redirects from full capital titles
Content that could be split into its own page
se or sect or section From a subtopic of the target page to the appropriate section of the target page. In most cases, the titles of these redirects are subtopics. For example, Slime chunk redirects to Slime, because slime chunks are simply chunks where slimes spawn in all biomes. Variants of features that are covered on the same page should use subtopic as well. Category:Redirects to sections
subtopic To or from a subtopic of the target page. i.e. the redirect describes something that is a subtopic of the feature described in the target page. This is used for a feature that is part of another subject, or a mechanic related to a feature, or an actual physical part of the subject. Example: Warning levelSculk Shrieker. Warning levels are a specific mechanic related to sculk shriekers. Category:Subtopic redirects
anchor or anchor section or anchor subtopic From a subtopic of the target page to the appropriate section of the target page, but the section is marked using an {{Anchor}} and does not appear in the page's table of contents, unless the anchor is inside a heading. Category:Redirects to anchors
in game name or in-game name or ign or in game or in-game From an in game name of a block, item, entity, or other feature which does not warrant an article on its own, instead fitting as part of a larger article (i.e. an article that also describes other features). This includes subtopic reason. Therefore, you don't need to list both. An example would be Nether stem redirecting to Log, because that page has not been split. The redirect does not need to link to a section. It only needs to link to a larger article. Category:Redirects from in-game names part of a larger article
variant From a variant of the subject described in the target page. Category:Redirects from variants
variant ign The feature is a variant of the main features described in the target page, and this redirect is the name of the feature.
variant of ign This redirect is the in-game name of a variant of one of the features described in the main page.
  • However, either the variant is not described in the target page, or this redirect is simply a variant of the feature. In the latter case, you should edit this redirect, and replace |variant of ign with |alt.
  • Also, the feature does not have a section on the page. The page is probably an overview page, and the feature this redirect relates to is probably a variant of the main feature of the page.
  • Consider removing this redirect, since it might not be necessary.
Category:Redirects from variants
Special kinds of variants:
discrete From a discrete form (like a block) of a continuous thing (like a material). Category:Redirects from discrete forms of continuous things
function or role or use or purpose From a function, role, or use of a thing to the thing itself. This should be used if the thing's identity is defined by the role or purpose it serves. Category:Redirects from functions of things
Specific redirects for specific types of pages

Guide when to use this template

To use this template, place it AFTER the #REDIRECT [[Link]]. Do NOT place the template before the #REDIRECT [[Link]], as this breaks the redirect as a whole. Here is a general guide on what to place (on the first column) and on the second column generally states when to insert the template. Since this is a general guide, there may be exceptions or other circumstances not listed.

Guide
Template When to use
{{|plural}} When the redirect name is plural, and the target page is singular
{{|singular}} When the redirect name is singular, and the target page is plural
{{|case}} When the capitalization of the redirect is different. For example, if the target is Zombified Piglin, Zombified piglin would be a valid redirect and adding {{R}} is useful, but ZoMbIfIeD pIgLiN would not be a valid redirect.
{{|alt}} For alternative names which the style guide allows
{{|move}} When a page’s old name has been moved to a new name, usually, a redirect is left behind to prevent breaking links. Add this template to the redirect.
{{|subtopic}} Usually when a notable redirect targets a specific subsection of a page, mainly because such subtopic does not warrant its own page.
{{|ign|subtopic}} When an in-game name of an block, entity, or item, like Acacia Boat does not warrant its own page, and is a subtopic, place this template to indicate both the “ign” reason and the “subtopic” reason.
{{|historical}} When the redirect is a historical name pointing to the up-to-date target
{{|version}} When the redirect is a short-term version name, usually excluding the edition. For example, 20w51a to Java Edition 20w51a
{{|diacritics}} Because readers should not be expected to type diacritics, add this template to redirects with the same name, but without diacritics.
{{|subtopic|advancement}} For achievement or advancement redirects, state both the subtopic and achievement/advancement reason.

Extra examples

The |nl=1 parameter is useful for custom redirect reasons.

{{Redr|Not all redirects are useful, but some are.|nl=1}}

{{Redr|caps|{{avoid double redirect|Clay Pot}}|nl=1}}

Produces

This page is a redirect:
 
  • From an alternative capitalization of the target page's title or a referenced term within the article. Usually these redirects are made solely to help with linking, because unpiped links only autocapitalize the first letter in a link, and the style guide prevents most prose from using the capitalization of the in-game names of most features.
  • From a
  • From an alternative title for Clay Pot, another redirect to the same title. Because double redirects are disallowed, both pages currently point to Decorated Pot.
    • If Clay Pot is expanded into a separate article or it is retargeted, this redirect will be recategorized to be updated..
