This module implements templates that detect and resolve redirects and soft category redirects.
Soft redirects are hard to detect and costly as they require loading and parsing the wiki page content of 'Category:' pages.
Soft redirects are category pages containing the template
- {{Category redirect|target|optional reason}}
or one of its known aliases on Commons (there are too many!!!): Template:Columns For the full list of aliases (simple redirections) of {{Category redirect}}, see
For the full list of derived templates (specifying an embedded reason parameter passed to the main template), see
The 'target' parameter value for these templates may be prefixed by 'Category:' or ':Category:' or not (it is implied).
There should exist only one soft-redirect or redirection per page. If you need several redirections (because the original name was ambiguous and could refer to several distinct topics), this means that this redirection page has to be converted into a disambiguation page.
