Template used to soft redirect a category page without content to another category page. (No automatic redirection.)
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | redirection target in Category: namespace
| Page name | required |
| lang | lang | language code, use if the language inferred from the page title is not correct
| String | optional |
Usage
- This template should be used as the only content remaining in the category page that has been renamed or merged into another one indicated in parameter.
Syntax
{{Category redirect|target}}- Replace target with the bare target category name (without the implied "Category:" prefix).
Outcome
- Tagged categories will appear in subcategories of Category:Soft-redirected categories:
- As long as the target category page does not exist, the tagged category will be listed in Category:Soft-redirected categories with missing target category.
- As long as the tagged soft-redirected category contains member pages, the tagged category will be listed in Category:Soft-redirected categories still containing pages, and the tagged soft-redirected category will remain listed as a subcategory (listed under the indexing key ←) of the target category; otherwise it will be listed in Category:Soft-redirected categories no longer containing pages.
Example
- A category page like Category:Frankreich containing:
{{Category redirect|France}}will render as:
