Purpose

This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into one of two categories:

Category:Redirects to project space – for cross-namespace redirects, or
Category:Redirects to Wikipedia project pages – for project (Wikipedia:) redirects to other project pages

This rcat also populates the following:

Usage

Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[Wikipedia:(target page name)]]

{{Redr|to project namespace}}

Template {{Redr}} is an alias for the This is a redirect template, which may be used to add up to seven appropriate rcats, along with their parameters, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation on its template page and its comparison page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

#REDIRECT [[Wikipedia:(target page name)]]

{{R to project namespace}}

This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
