Categorizing redirects: beyond the scope of a basic how to, and anyways this is optional...many redirects aren't categorized. Move this procedural complication to Wikipedia:Moving a page.
Moving a page: more advice beyond the scope of a basic "how to" page. I've moved many pages and haven't yet edited inter language links
Line 17:
* Enter the new name of the page under "To new title". Give a reason for the move.
* If the page has a discussion page, you will be asked if you want to move that as well; usually, you will.
* Check to see if there are any [[Help:Interlanguage links|interlanguage links]]. If you see an 'Edit links' link at the bottom of the list of links, update the [[WP:Wikidata|Wikidata]] item associated with the page.
 
Moving the page will also create a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] from the old title to the new title. If you are simply renaming the page, this ensures that links to the page continue to work.
