User:Elli/rcat standardization

This is a page that I'm using to document my efforts to standardize redirect categories.

List of current rcats: Wikipedia:Template index/Redirect pages

Already automatically applied by {{redirect category shell}}

• {{R extended-protected}}
• {{R fully protected}}
• {{R semi-protected}}
• {{R template-protected}}

also implemented in {{Automatic redirect categories}}

Could be automatically applied

• {{Wikidata redirect}}

 Done with {{Automatic redirect categories}} (which uses Module:Wd). Note: this currently uses {{Wikidata redirect/hard}}, which should probably be moved to {{R with Wikidata}}.

Note: {{Wikidata redirect}} works for both hard and soft redirects. These should ideally be two separate templates – the one for hard redirects should be applied automatically only.

• {{R to project namespace}} – applies to both cross-namespace and same-namespace redirects
• {{R to help namespace}} – applies to both cross-namespace and same-namespace redirects
• {{R to portal namespace}} – applies to both cross-namespace and same-namespace redirects
• {{R to category namespace}} – applies only to same-namespace redirects
• {{R to draft namespace}} – applies only to same-namespace redirects
• {{R to main namespace}} – applies only to same-namespace redirects
• {{R to template namespace}} – applies only to same-namespace redirects
• {{R to user namespace}} – applies only to same-namespace redirects

 Done with {{Automatic redirect categories}} (which uses Module:RedirectData)

• {{R to talk page}} – applies only to redirects from outside all talk namespaces

 Done with {{Automatic redirect categories}} (which uses Module:RedirectData)

• {{R from subpage}}
• {{R to subpage}}

 Done with {{Automatic redirect categories}} (which uses Module:RedirectData)

• {{R to disambiguation page}}

 Done with {{Automatic redirect categories}} (which uses Module:RedirectData) (maybe should be split out?)

Automatically applied in some cases

• {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} – only applied on talk pages ending in (disambiguation)

 Done with {{Automatic redirect categories}} (which uses Module:RedirectData)

Steps to implementing

1. Gain consensus at Template talk:Redirect category shell
2. Apply changes
3. Remove all redundant transclusions with a bot (Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/ElliBot will need to be updated with all removed redirect categories, instead of just {{Wikidata redirect}})

Seems like they could be automatically applied, but cannot be

• {{R from remote talk page}} – while automatic namespace detection is possible, redirects from one talk page to another should not always be talked, for example in cases of page moves.
