Templates

beccè'

{{Title year}} and other templates without parameters are now allowed in the {{Category redirect}} target name, and are evaluated accordingly. Multiple templates are not evaluated, but such functionality can be requested with an appropriate working example.

The character ! is also now allowed (see testcases).

Avoiding deletion of the redirected page

beccè'

It is helpful to also add {{R from category navigation}} or {{R from template-generated category}} (as appropriate) to indicate that the redirect is required for navigation between category pages. See those template page for full syntax. This also hides a speedy deletion button that is otherwise displayed to administrators.
