Categorisation

All pages tagged by this template are automatically categorized in Category:Category redirects.

Redirected categories that contain files show up in Category:Non-empty category redirects.

Redirects to self or non-existent pages show up in Category:Broken category redirects with sortkeys:

! = redirects to non-existent page (or possibly malformed, e.g. including the Category: prefix.)
