Description toe_head2001 2009-02-04 04:39:07 UTC
When an article is redirect to a category, the article should not be listed in the category.

The artilce with    #redirect [[Category:BlaBlaBla]]    should not be tagged with   [[Category:BlaBlaBla]]
Comment 1 toe_head2001 2009-02-04 06:40:37 UTC
#REDIRECT [[:Category:Glossary]]
Comment 2 Gurch 2009-02-04 11:50:11 UTC
To make that a bit clearer: [[Category:Foo]] isn't a link but rather an instruction to include the page in the category. Similarly, [[Image:Foo.jpg]] isn't a link but an embedded image. Using [[:Category:Foo]] produces a link and so that should be used for redirects.

It's kind of like the difference between [[Template:Foo]] linking to a template and {{Foo}} including it; I believe at one point there was a proposal to do categories and images with {{curly bracket syntax}} to make this less confusing but nothing came of it.
