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.
|
