Category:Wikipedia non-empty soft redirected categories

This is a non-diffusing subcategory of Category:Wikipedia soft redirected categories. It includes category redirects that can also be found in the parent category, or in diffusing subcategories of the parent.

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a container category. Due to its scope, it should only contain subcategories. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. Wikipedia soft redirected categories are automatically added to this category when they are populated. This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set. These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

Wikipedia soft redirected categories should not be populated. Members of category redirects will be recategorized by RussBot (eventually).

Category pages are added to this category by {{Category redirect}}. The categories should in theory be non-empty but may often be empty in practice due to caching. An empty category can usually be removed by making a null edit on its category page. This has to be repeated for every empty category. It will eventually happen automatically at an unknown time.
