Module:Redirect/doc

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}}

or one of its known aliases on Commons (there are too many!!!):

• {{Category Redirect|target}}
• {{Categoryredirect|target}}
• {{Cat redirect|target}}
• {{Catredirect|target}}
• {{Catredir|target}}
• {{Cat-redirect|target}}
• {{Cat-red|target}}
• {{Redirect category|target}}
• {{Redirect cat|target}}
• {{Seecat|target}}
• {{See cat|target}}

For the full list of aliases, see

The 'target' parameter value for these templates may be prefixed by 'Category:' or ':Category:' or not (it is implied).
