|-
|<code>capitalization</code> or <code>case</code> or <code>cap</code> or <code>caps</code>

|-
|<code>miscapitalization</code> or <code>miscap</code>or <code>miscaps</code>

|From a longer name or compound name to an article with a shorter name. This name might be used instead of the normal name sometimes, or it might be a longer name.

|-
! colspan=3 | Content that could be split into its own page
|-
|<code>se</code> or <code>sect</code> or <code>section</code>
|From a subtopic of the target page to the appropriate section of the target page. In most cases, the titles of these redirects are subtopics. For example, [[Slime chunk]] redirects to [[Slime]], because slime chunks are simply chunks where slimes spawn in all biomes. Variants of features that are covered on the same page should use <code>subtopic</code> as well.
|[[:Category:Redirects to sections]]
|-
|<code>subtopic</code>
|To or from a subtopic of the target page. i.e. the redirect describes something that is a subtopic of the feature described in the target page. This is used for a feature that is part of another subject, or a mechanic related to a feature, or an actual physical part of the subject. Example: [[Warning level]] → [[Sculk Shrieker]]. Warning levels are a specific mechanic related to sculk shriekers.
|[[:Category:Subtopic redirects]]
|-
|<code>anchor</code> or <code>anchor section</code> or <code>anchor subtopic</code>
|From a subtopic of the target page to the appropriate section of the target page, but the section is marked using an {{tl|Anchor}} and does not appear in the page's table of contents, unless the anchor is inside a heading.
|[[:Category:Redirects to anchors]]
|-
|<code>in game name</code> or <code>in-game name</code> or <code>ign</code> or <code>in game</code> or <code>in-game</code>
|From an in game name of a block, item, entity, or other feature which does not warrant an article on its own, instead fitting as part of a larger article (i.e. an article that also describes other features). This includes <code>subtopic</code> reason. Therefore, you don't need to list both. An example would be [[Trader Llama]] redirecting to [[Llama]], because that page has not been split. The redirect does not need to link to a section. It only needs to link to a larger article.
|[[:Category:Redirects from in-game names part of a larger article]]
|-
|<code>variant</code>
|From a variant of the subject described in the target page.
| rowspan=2 |[[:Category:Redirects from variants]]
|-
|<code>variant ign</code>
|The feature is a variant of the main features described in the target page, and this redirect is the name of the feature.
|-
|<code>variant of ign</code>
|This redirect is the in-game name of a variant of one of the features described in the main page.
* However, either the variant is not described in the target page, or this redirect is simply a variant of the feature. In the latter case, you should edit this redirect, and replace <code>{{!}}variant of ign</code> with <code>{{!}}alt</code>.
* Also, the feature does not have a section on the page. The page is probably an overview page, and the feature this redirect relates to is probably a variant of the main feature of the page.
* Consider removing this redirect, since it might not be necessary.
|[[:Category:Redirects from variants]]
|-
! colspan=3 | Special kinds of variants:
|-
|<code>discrete</code>
|From a [[w:discrete|discrete]] form (like a block) of a [[w:continuous|continuous]] thing (like a material).
