This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect: - From an abbreviation: This is a redirect from an abbreviation to a related topic, such as the expansion of the abbreviation.
- Instead of this template, use {{R from acronym}} for acronyms pronounced as words, such as NATO and RADAR; or
- Use {{R from initialism}} for those pronounced as letters, such as CIA and HIV; or
- Use {{R from short name}}, instead, for the initials of a person's name, and other shortenings not typically classed as abbreviations.
- From an alternative spelling: This is a redirect from a title with an alternative spelling of the target name. Pages that link to this redirect may be updated to link directly to the target page if that results in an improvement of the text. Do not "fix" such links if they are not broken. Also, these links should not be replaced with piped links.
- There are many more specific templates such as {{R from alternative hyphenation}}, {{R from alternative punctuation}} and {{R from alternative spacing}}. Also see subcategories of Category:Redirects from modifications for other options (capitals, abbreviations, diacritics, plurals, stylizations, transliteration, ligatures, different parts of speech, etc.)
- From an alternative name: This is a redirect from a title that is another name or identity such as an alter ego, a nickname, or a synonym of the target, or of a name associated with the target.
- This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names to aid searches and writing. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- If this redirect is an incorrect name for the target, then {{R from incorrect name}} should be used instead.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized. |
