Ашаблон:Resolve category redirect/doc

Resolves a soft category redirect.

It takes one parameter, which is the name of a category. It returns that category name, unless the category exists and is a {{category redirect}} ... when it returns the name of the redirect target.

Usage

{{Resolve category redirect|categoryname}}

Examples

Category exists and is not redirected

Акатегориа:1970 шықәса

• {{Resolve category redirect|1970 шықәса}} → 1970 шықәса
• {{Resolve category redirect|Акатегориа:1970 шықәса}} → Акатегориа:1970 шықәса

Category exists and is a soft redirect

Акатегориа:Mosques completed in the 19th century

• {{Resolve category redirect|Mosques completed in the 19th century}} → Mosques completed in the 19th century
• {{Resolve category redirect|Акатегориа:Mosques completed in the 19th century}} → Акатегориа:Mosques completed in the 19th century

Category exists and is a soft redirect

Акатегориа:Аорганизациақәа

• {{Resolve category redirect|Аорганизациақәа}} → Аорганизациақәа
• {{Resolve category redirect|Акатегориа:Аорганизациақәа}} → Акатегориа:Аорганизациақәа

Non-existent category

Акатегориа:Colourless green things

• {{Resolve category redirect|Colourless green things}} → Colourless green things
• {{Resolve category redirect|Акатегориа:Colourless green things}} → Акатегориа:Colourless green things

Templates

Do not use templates in the target name.

{{Resolve category redirect}} cannot expand any templates in the target name, and the { character caused crashes (as did } and !). So it does not attempt to resolve any redirect where the target includes those characters.

Example

• Category:1781 in Mexico‎ contained {{category redirect|{{title year}} in New Spain}} which cannot be resolved. To be safe, {{Resolve category redirect|1781 in Mexico‎}} simply returned 1781 in Mexico‎.
  The above example has since been changed to {{category redirect|1781 in New Spain}}, which can be resolved.

Avoiding deletion of the redirected page

If the parameter |keep=yes is included in the category redirect, this hides a speedy deletion button that is otherwise displayed to administrators.

It is helpful to also add {{R from category navigation}} to indicate that the redirect is required for navigation between category pages. See that template page for full syntax.
