Typos and other possible or valid ways to write a word
miscapitalization or miscapor miscaps	From an incorrect capitalization of the target page's title. Usually these redirects are made solely to help with aid with searching, so this redirect should not be linked to directly.	Category:Redirects from miscapitalizations
spelling or spell	From an alternative spelling of the target page's title.	Category:Redirects from alternative spellings
language or dialect or dialectal	From an alternative dialectal English name. See Language#Differences between English variants.	Category:Redirects from dialectal forms

Terminology and semantics related to the target page or its content
alt or alt name or alternate or alternate name or alternative or alternative name or variant of	From an alternate name of a subject described in the target page. This has many variants, such as longer name, shorter name, and synoynm.	Category:Redirects from alternative names
search or search term	From a plausible related search term	Category:Redirects from search terms
old or former or historic or historical	From a former name present in older versions of the subject to the current name of the subject described in the target page.	Category:Redirects from former names
short or shorter or short name or shorter name	From a shorter name for a subject to an article with a longer name. The shorter name is a name that is sometimes used instead of the normal name, or it is a name given by Mojang	Category:Redirects from shorter names
long or longer or long name or longer name or compound or compound name	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. A compound name is a name that is made by combining 2 names together. For example, "Blacksmith Villager" combines "Blacksmith" with "Villager".	Category:Redirects from longer names
allcaps or fullcaps or allcap or fullcap	From a subject that is officially styled in full, or most, capital letters.	Category:Redirects from full capital titles
Content that could be split into its own page
se or sect or section	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 subtopic as well.	Category:Redirects to sections
subtopic	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
anchor or anchor section or anchor subtopic	From a subtopic of the target page to the appropriate section of the target page, but the section is marked using an Template:Tl and does not appear in the page's table of contents, unless the anchor is inside a heading.	Category:Redirects to anchors
in game name or in-game name or ign or in game or in-game	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 subtopic 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
variant	From a variant of the subject described in the target page.	Category:Redirects from variants
variant ign	The feature is a variant of the main features described in the target page, and this redirect is the name of the feature.
variant of ign	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 |variant of ign with |alt. 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
Special kinds of variants:
discrete	From a discrete form (like a block) of a continuous thing (like a material).	Category:Redirects from discrete forms of continuous things
function or role or use or purpose	From a function, role, or use of a thing to the thing itself. This should be used if the thing's identity is defined by the role or purpose it serves.	Category:Redirects from functions of things
