You can create a [[Wikipedia:Category redirects|category redirect]] by adding {{tlx|Category redirect|target}} to the category page. [[Wikipedia:Bots|Bots]] patrol these categories and move articles to the "target" of the redirect.
Category redirects are [[WP:COSTLY|costly]]. While placing a page in a category redirect is not a ''big'' problem, it <em>is</em> a problem. There are [[Wikipedia:Category redirects that should be kept#Category redirects that might be useful|plenty of helpful uses of category redirects]], but category redirects are not as [[WP:CHEAP|cheap as regular redirects]]. Links to article redirects are [[WP:NOTBROKEN]]: click on the link and you are automatically redirected to its target. However, links to category redirects <em>are</em> broken and need to be fixed. Placing a page into a category redirect makes it show up in the category redirect — not its target — until a bot comes along and fixes the link.<section end=CATREDIRECT />
If the category was renamed because it is ambiguous, and categories exist for two or more meanings, then create a category disambiguation page at the old name, using {{tl|category disambiguation}}.
