(Bad examples: Way of Kings is now a disambig and Dustrbinger is more accurately listed as a structural redirect; added a new one so that there's more than one)
m (Adding spoiler and interwiki redirects)
The pages in this category serve as redirects to other pages. This category should ''not'' be applied to redirect pages. For a list of all redirect pages, see [[Special: ListRedirects]]. For other useful information, see [[Special: BrokenRedirects]] and [[Special: DoubleRedirects]].
 
All redirect pages should receive one of foursix redirect subcategories:
 
;[[:Category: Correction redirects]]
:'''Note: Applicable [[:Category:Content|content categories]] should ''generally'' be manually applied to these redirect pages''' as if the page were a true article. Do this if the term is a distinct one that should appear on category pages where the target of the redirect would not appear.
:''Examples: "[[Abrasion]]" to "[[Surgebinding]]" | "[[Salas]]" to "[[Roshar]]"''
 
;[[:Category: Spoiler redirects]]
:Rarely, redirecting a page to its true target could result in someone seeing extensive spoilers. In these cases, a "spoiler redirect" may be created for one of the pages, with only minimal information. Consult with the [[Coppermind:Keepers|Keepers]] about new spoiler redirects.
:'''Note: [[:Category:Aliases]] and occasionally other applicable [[:Category:Content|content categories]] should be manually applied to these redirect pages'''
:''Examples: "[[Lessie]]" to "[[Paalm]]"''
 
;[[:Category: Interwiki redirects]]
:Occasionally, a redirect sends the user directly to another wiki, usually Wikipedia. These redirects exist almost solely for people who search the term, as attempting to go to the redirect will send you to the other wiki, which will not have a "Redirected from" note. If you need to view an interwiki redirect, you must type out its Coppermind URL and append <code>?&redirect=no</code>. Consult with the [[Coppermind:Keepers|Keepers]] about new interwiki redirects.
:'''Note: Applicable [[:Category:Content|content categories]] should ''sometimes'' be manually applied to these redirect pages''', as if the target page were an actual Coppermind article.
:''Examples: "<span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Cymatics}}?&redirect=no Cymatics (redirect=no applied)]</span>" to "[[wikipedia:Cymatics]]"''
