Category:Wikipedia template-protected redirects

The pages in this category are redirects from pages that are template-protected from editing for any of several possible reasons, or (infrequently) from subject pages that are template-protected as an intermediate protection level between semi- and full-page protection. When the Rcat shell template is used, this category will be populated automatically. To add a redirect to this category, place {{Rcat shell|(any appropriate rcats)}} 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 a maintenance 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 contains redirects that have been template-protected. Template-protected redirects are constructed for the purpose of preventing vandalism or edit warring, but may be a plausible template shortcut, as an alternative to deleting the page. Template protection prevents a template page from being edited except by administrators and template editors.

Populating this category does not in itself protect the page. Actual page protection is engaged by administrators.
