__NOTOC__

=== Purpose ===

This template exists to help track useful redirects from foreign-language terms and redirects to other languages from English words and phrases.  It is not a license to create redirects between arbitrary terms in any language – generally, foreign-language titles are considered appropriate ''only when there is a strong connection'' between the language and the topic.  For example, {{-r|Wien}}[[File:Redirect arrow without text.svg|35px]][[Vienna]] makes sense, because German is the official language of Austria; however, these three redirects:  {{-r|維也納}}, {{-r|ویانا}} and {{-r|Виена}}, would be deleted if they existed, because there is no real connection between the city of Vienna and Mandarin, Western Punjabi, or Macedonian, respectively.  See [[Wikipedia:Redirects in languages other than English]] for details.
