{{R}} as a redirect to {{Rcat}} as I don't think there is anything harmful with saving 3 characters? So if we are not reformatting it, and keeping the template the same, just moved while leaving a redirect behind, I just expand /reasons so that way for pages that are both plural and lowercase (like Zombified piglins) where the template could be {{R|plural|case}} or {{R|plural and case}}?

{{R|plural|case}} is the easiest way to do it . Nixinova T C 01:04, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
{{R|plural|case}} but after testing, it actually did (I am still a beginner in making templates). I personally think it looks better to have two line breaks in between "This page is a redirect from a plural...discuss." and "This page is a redirect from an alternate...when searching.", rather than one line break in between them, as shown in Baked potatoes rather than Zombified piglins.

{{R}} contain the redirect reasons so it is easier to be used directly and this template be named {{Rcat shell}} since the individual reasons can be considered to be rcats. Also, Rcat is so short that further abbreviation is not really necessary.

However, it would be nice to clarify 2 extra parameters for which namespace it's coming from and which one it's going to. This would be useful semantically and would help make the bullet point explaining the redirect on its noredirect=true page.
Also, from and to parameters could be used by other reasons in the future. For example, it would also be useful on the Category:Redirects from inflections category I added. There really isn't much of a limit on this.
The from and to parameters would also allow categories like Category:Redirects between namespaces to be split up into sub categories, either for maintenance reasons or for general ogranization.
This proposal could very easily be quite controversial. If you think this sounds too complicated, then I guess either:

I have big plans to rework many of the redirects on this wiki to have more descriptive reasons. I will go check through all of the redirects and make a list of examples.
In order to satisfy those plans, I've been thinking about rewriting this page to use a module. The reason for this is to allow for more flexibility with the Reason template. You see, I want alt (and potentially other names) to be able to combine with other names in a more intuitive manner, and I just think it would be easier for me to maintain this and add support for more reasons if it used the module I already made.
The module I want to use is:
What it does is it checks for alternative names for parameters, and unifies them into just a few parameters, as well as passing all un-named params as named-params, and calling the Redr module once for each param. This should work pretty nicely with the switch statement in Redr/Reason.
I think my ideas could be more useful on other language wikis.
Actually, while we are at it, splitting Redr/Reason into subpages for each reason would make it easier for new users to edit. --Simanelix (T|C) 02:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
expandTemplate should be avoided whenever possible. 👁 ImageI'm going to convert this page to a module because apparently no one else cares. Also, some people keep using UsefulRedirect. I'll make sure to just make that redirect here. I'll also make to (very importantly) update the documentation for this template. --Simanelix (T|C) 13:00, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
I think my points make sense.
1.They do very simmilar things. The only difference is that "miscap" is for capitalizations that shouldn't be in articles, which is already controlled by the Style Guide (and common sense).
2.Nobody uses it. There is only one page in the "miscap" category (Tnt) and there is a bunch of redirects that should go there but are in the "caps" one. 👁 Image

tl| after the left curly brackets to deactivate the template.{{Redr/Reason|{{{1}}}|nocat={{{nocat|}}}}} needs to be replaced with
{{Redr/Reason|{{{1}}}|nocat={{{nocat|}}}|nl={{{nl|}}}}}
And I can't change it since the page is protected. Can you please add the parameter? --Simanelix (T|C) 19:55, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
|nl= parmater actually works. Without this change, the parameter does nothing. In particular, this would fix pages like Clay pot, which use {{avoid double redirect}}. --Simanelix (T|C) 20:12, 12 June 2025 (UTC){{Message box

-- Simanelix (T|C) 15:59, 9 July 2025 (UTC){{avoid double redirect}}. --MinecraftExp123(talk|contribs) 03:53, 24 July 2025 (UTC)A number of the parameters explicitly mention redirects being for the game or features. Since the wiki is focusing more on non-game media, or even just non-vanilla games, I think these should be rephrased slightly to be more neutral. Realshow19 (talk) 17:31, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
