Module:Resolve category redirect


About

This template resolves soft category redirects.

It takes one parameter, which is the name of a category. If successful, it will return the target of {{category redirect|<target>}} on that category. If unsuccessful, it will return its own original parameter.

Usage

{{Resolve category redirect|categoryname}}

Examples

Category exists and is not redirected: Category:1970s

  • {{Resolve category redirect|1970s}} → 1970s
  • {{Resolve category redirect|Category:1970s}} → Category:1970s

Category exists and is a soft redirect: Category:Mosques completed in the 19th century

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

Category exists and is a soft redirect: Category:Organisations

  • {{Resolve category redirect|Organisations}} → Organizations
  • {{Resolve category redirect|Category:Organisations}} → Organizations

Non-existent category: Category:Colourless green things

  • {{Resolve category redirect|Colourless green things}} → Colourless green things
  • {{Resolve category redirect|Category:Colourless green things}} → Category:Colourless green things
  • {{Resolve category redirect|1781 in Mexico}} → 1781 in Mexico
  • {{Resolve category redirect|Category:1781 in Mexico}} → Category:1781 in Mexico

Templates

{{Title year}} and other templates without parameters are now allowed in the {{Category redirect}} target name, as well as basic parser functions, and are evaluated accordingly. Multiple templates are not evaluated, but such functionality can be requested with an appropriate working example.

The character ! is also now allowed (see testcases).

Avoiding deletion of the redirected page

It is helpful to also add {{R from category navigation}} or {{R from template-generated category}} (as appropriate) to indicate that the redirect is required for navigation between category pages. See those template page for full syntax. This also hides a speedy deletion button that is otherwise displayed to administrators.
