Purpose

This template is the project banner of WikiProject Redirect. It should be added (not substituted) to the talk pages of subject pages that are within the scope of the project. This template automatically adds pages to Category:WikiProject Redirect pages.

Usage

• Add the following at or near the top of the talk page:

{{WikiProject Redirect}}

Usage on talk pages of redirects

This banner is only to be used on redirect talk pages sparingly and rarely.

Everything that pertains to the improvement and maintenance of redirect pages in all namespaces of Wikipedia is important to this WikiProject; however, to tag each and every talk page of each and every redirect page with this template is not the purpose of this banner. This banner should only be placed on the talk pages of those pages that are about the improvement and maintenace of redirects, on pages such as:

• The WikiProject Redirect talk page
• Talk pages of redirect category (rcat) templates
• Index talk pages – alphabetical index and index by function
• The talk page of any Wikipedia page that is tasked with the improvement and maintenance of redirects
• Aliases/shortcuts (redirects) that target the above pages

Note 1

While the above talk pages are eligible to be tagged with this banner, they should be talk pages that already exist.

Talk pages should rarely if ever be created merely to be tagged with this banner.

Note 2

If this banner is placed on the talk page of a mainspace article or redirect page, the following notification will appear in place of the banner:

The project banner will not appear, and the page will be sorted to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.

No subst:

If this template is accidentally substituted, then an error message will appear above the banner in the following manner:

{{#assessment:Redirect|Template|}}
