Template populating category redirects

Please see Template_talk:Topic_in_country#Populates_category_redirects. Enhancing999 (talk) 11:19, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Another is Template:Text cat, but that has a "topic=" parameter that can be set. Enhancing999 (talk) 11:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

A few more:

Template:ANEFO photographer location created a loop at Category:Photographs by Willem van de Poll in Damascus (1950) as Category:Photographs by Willem van de Poll in Damascus redirects there.

Template:By country category sometimes lists a redirected category.

Also Template:Cosplay of medium in country with some using "Czech Republic", others "Czechia".

Template:Bennylin/Maps fills Category:Locator maps of Aceh regencies.

Some I fixed, others .. Enhancing999 (talk) 13:00, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Partially updated/expanded on: Enhancing999 (talk) 11:11, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Template:Resolve_category_redirect is now available. It can be be added to templates to avoid redirects. It detects some but not all aliases of {{Category redirect}}. Enhancing999 (talk) 11:11, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
