The pages listed in this category are templates.

This page is part of Wikipedia's administration and not part of the encyclopedia.

Further template category notes

This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces.

To add a template to this category:

• If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add
•  [[Category:Typo replacement templates]]
• to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add
•  <noinclude>[[Category:Typo replacement templates]]</noinclude>
• to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This category is for templates that exist solely to assist editors who make typos when typing templates. If the template page is set up properly, a bot will come along and replace, for example, {{Realist}} with {{Reflist}}.

The purpose of these templates is similar to redirects, but over the years, some editors have objected to template redirects because scripts and bots look only for the template's canonical form.

See also Category:Article translation assistance templates, which are for templates that are copied from Wikipedia in a language other than English.
