Masticationpedia:Categorizing redirects

This is a Masticationpedia guideline for placing redirect pages into categories. It is intended to document current practice and suggest best practice in other areas and indicate where categorization of redirects can be misleading.

When to categorize a redirect

Hard redirects should be placed in one of several maintenance categories specifically for redirects. This should be done using categorization templates (rcats).

Soft redirects usually should not be categorized by rcats.

Redirects are not usually sorted to article categories; however, there are exceptions, as described below.
