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.
{{Resolve category redirect|categoryname}}
{{Resolve category redirect|1970s}}
→ 1970s{{Resolve category redirect|Category:1970s}}
→ Category:1970s{{Resolve category redirect|Mosques completed in the 19th century}}
→ 19th-century mosques{{Resolve category redirect|Category:Mosques completed in the 19th century}}
→ 19th-century mosques{{Resolve category redirect|Organisations}}
→ Organizations{{Resolve category redirect|Category:Organisations}}
→ Organizations{{Resolve category redirect|Colourless green things}}
→ Colourless green things{{Resolve category redirect|Category:Colourless green things}}
→ Category:Colourless green thingsDo 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.
{{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
.{{category redirect|1781 in New Spain}}
, which can be resolved.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.
