The pages in this category are redirects that are tagged by the raw (no rcats added) template below, or that do have rcats, but the first parameter is left blank (empty). To add a redirect to this category, place {{This is a redirect|}} on the third line after the redirect. An alias/shortcut for the rcat(s) may also be used. "Redr" is an alias/shortcut for the This is a redirect template; for more information follow the template link. Never substitute redirect category templates nor place them on soft redirects. See also the complete list of redirect templates.

This is a maintenance category. It is used for the maintenance of Scratchpad and is not part of Scratchpad’s creative content. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than content. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference “Show hidden categories” is set. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. Pages are added to tracking categories through templates.

Administrators: Please do not delete this category even if it is empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This category is used to track redirects that are tagged with the {{This is a redirect}} template, and either an rcat has not yet been added that would sort the redirect into a more specific category, or an editor has tagged a redirect with one or more rcats and has left the first parameter empty, e.g.:

{{This is a redirect||from...|to...|with...}}.

Note: There is nothing between the first two pipes, so that first parameter is "empty".

This may be necessary if an editor is unsure whether or not the redirect needs at least one more rcat.

Editors who monitor this category may then find and disposition those redirects.

Some redirects in this category may be test redirects used to check This is a redirect/sandbox proposals.
