== Categorizing redirect pages ==
{{Main|Wikipedia:Categorizing redirects}}

Most redirect pages are not placed in article [[WP:Categorization|categories]]. There are three types of redirect categorization that are helpful and useful:
* Maintenance categories are in use for particular types of redirects, such as [[:Category:Redirects from initialisms]], in which a redirect page may be sorted using the {{Tl|R from initialism}} template. One major use of these categories is to determine which redirects are fit for inclusion in a [[WP:Printability|printed subset]] of Wikipedia. {{crossref|pw=y|See [[WP:Template messages/Redirect pages]]}} for functional and alphabetical lists of these templates. A brief functional list of redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) templates is also found in the {{Tl|R template index}} navbar.
* {{short|WP:ACATR}}{{anchor|Redirects placed in article categories}} Sometimes a redirect is placed in an article category because the form of the redirected title is more appropriate to the context of that category, e.g. {{No redirect|Honey Lantree}} redirects to the band article [[The Honeycombs]], but the redirect is placed in [[:Category:1943 births]] and other categories which relate to Lantree as an individual. (Redirects appear in italics in category listings.)
* Discussion pages. If a discussion/talk page exists for a redirect, please ensure (1) that the talk page's WikiProject banners are tagged with the "class=Redirect" parameter and (2) that the talk page is tagged at the TOP with the {{Tl|Talk page of redirect}} template. If the discussion page is a redirect, then it may be tagged with appropriate redirect categorization templates (rcats).

=== Redirects from moves ===
When a page is renamed/moved, a redirect that is titled with the replaced page name is created and is automatically tagged with the {{Tl|R from move}} template. This sorts the redirect into [[:Category:Redirects from moves]].
