Misplaced Pages

• From a draft: This is a redirect from a draft page in the draft namespace or a userspace draft to the published article in mainspace. This redirect page must not be in mainspace.
  • Note: If this redirect is used in the article namespace, then it will populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace instead.

• From outside mainspace: This is a redirect from a page outside the main-article namespace (mainspace) to an article in mainspace. This redirect page must be outside of mainspace.
  • Note: If this redirect is in mainspace, then it will populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace instead.

• With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
  • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).

• From a miscapitalisation: This is a redirect from a capitalisation error. The correct form is given by the target of the redirect.
  • This redirect is made available to aid searches or to maintain links. Pages that use this link should be updated to link directly to the correct form without using a piped link hiding the correct details.
  • This template tags redirects with the Redirects from miscapitalisations category, a subcategory of Redirects from incorrect names, so template {{R from incorrect name}} should not be used with this template.

Error in Module:R avoided double redirect: No other page was specified.

• From an alternative name: This is a redirect from a title that is another name or identity such as an alter ego, a nickname, or a synonym of the target, or of a name associated with the target.
  • This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names to aid searches and writing. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
  • If this redirect is an incorrect name for the target, then {{R from incorrect name}} should be used instead.
