The pages in this category are redirects that target articles in which they are not mentioned. To add a redirect to this category, place {{Redirect category shell|{{R to article without mention}}}} on the second new line (skip a line) after #REDIRECT [[Target page name]]. For more information, follow the links. Never substitute redirect template(s), nor place them on soft redirects.

This is an administrative category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories (except for eponymous maintenance categories).

This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

• This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.
• These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
• These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

Usually, articles mention any person, place, thing, or term that redirects to them. Alternative names may be mentioned "in the first sentence, elsewhere in the article, or not at all". They are usually bolded but this is not required, especially if there are a large number of redirects to an article. Many redirects do not need to be mentioned in the target articles, and many others (e.g., {{R from other capitalization}}, {{R from misspelling}}, {{R from incorrect name}} and other variations on words) should not be mentioned.

This category is meant to contain otherwise valid redirects that are not currently mentioned in their target articles. In the end, redirects listed here generally have one of four outcomes:

• The redirect's name gets added to the target article.
• The redirect gets retargeted to a different article or list (where, ideally, it will be mentioned by name).
• {{R to article without mention}} is removed, and perhaps one or more others (e.g., {{R from merge}}) added.
• The redirect may be deleted (e.g., if there are problems other than it merely not being mentioned).
