Instructions

Example: To redirect from Category:Authors to Category:Writers, simply add the following to Category:Authors:

{{Category redirect|Writers}} or
{{Category redirect|Category:Writers}} with optional namespace prefix

This template adds category pages to Category:Wikipedia soft redirected categories.

If a category redirect exists but is not likely to be useful (see criteria in WP:Category redirects that should be kept), tag it with {{db-c1}} for deletion.

If a category redirect is intended to be kept, then add |keep=yes to suppress a deletion link that is usually displayed to administrators.

In the case of redirects that are resolved or otherwise used by other templates, consider also adding the template {{R from category navigation}} within an {{Rcat shell}}.
