Template:Request edit/Instructions

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

Template-protected: This is a redirect from a page that is template-protected from editing for any of several possible reasons. Only administrators and template editors may edit this page.
- Please do not replace these redirected links with links directly to the target page unless expressly advised to do so below or elsewhere on this page, or if the change is supported by a policy or guideline.

From a page move: This is a redirect from a page that has been moved (renamed). This page was kept as a redirect to avoid breaking links, both internal and external, that may have been made to the old page name.

From an alternative name: This is a redirect from a title that is another name or identity such as an alter ego, a nickname, or a synonym of the target, or of a name associated with the target.
- This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names to aid searches and writing. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- If this redirect is an incorrect name for the target, then {{R from incorrect name}} should be used instead.

From a subpage: This is a redirect from a subpage. In a page title, a subpage name appears after a forward slash (/); for example, "Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Articles", which is a subpage of "Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket", redirects to Template:CricketRecentChanges. Not all articles or other pages with "/" in their titles are subpages (e.g. CP/M).
- If this redirect is in mainspace, then it will populate the Redirects with old history category bold-linked above; if in any other namespace, then Category:Redirects from subpages will be populated.

To a subpage: This is a redirect to a subpage. In a page title, a subpage name appears after a forward slash (/); for example, "Wikipedia:Technical move requests" redirects to Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests, which is a subpage of Wikipedia:Requested moves. Please note that not every page title with "/" in its title is a subpage. See this template's documentation for details.

From a template shortcut: This is a redirect from a shortcut page name in any namespace to a page in template namespace.
- Shortcuts are wikilinked on community pages, talk pages, and edit summaries, but not in mainspace articles. Transclusions in mainspace are common and do not need to be "fixed".

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
