This is a redirect from a title in basic ASCII to the formal article title, with differences that are not diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, etc.)
Use this redirect link (without piping) when the page concerns language translation or English language equivalents. Other pages using this link should be updated to replace text with the redirect target (again, without piping).

[edit]
This is a redirect from a brand name to a generic name. This redirect type is a sub-type of the "R from related word" class of templates. Redirects from related words are not properly redirects from alternate spellings of the same word. But at the same time, they are also different from redirects from a subtopic, since the related word is unlikely to warrant a full subtopic in the target page.

[edit]
This is a redirect from a CamelCase title. In the initial versions of Wikipedia, all links had to be CamelCase.
They are kept to keep edit history and to avoid breaking links that may have been made externally.

[edit]
This is a redirect of a wikilink created from JPEG EXIF information (i.e. the "metadata" section on some image description pages). Since MediaWiki offers no control over the link target of these autogenerated wikilinks, redirects like this are created to make the wikilinks useful.
WARNING: It might appear that no pages link to this redirect. This is because the EXIF links don't show up in these listings. This redirect is most probably not orphaned!

This is a redirect from a title for a topic more detailed than what is currently provided on the target page, or section of that page, hence something which can and should be expanded.
When the target page becomes too large, this redirect may be replaced with an article carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}}, and when appropriate, use both together, and perhaps add a stub template or two to the redirect page as well.
Conversely, if the topic is not susceptible to a major expansion, tag instead with {{R to section}}, or {{R to list entry}}, depending on how the topic should be handled.
Do not replace these redirected links with a link directly to the target page.
For more information, see the auto-category: Category:Redirects with possibilities.

This is a redirect from a related word.
Related words in an article are good candidates for Wiktionary links.
Redirects from related words are not properly redirects from alternate spellings of the same word. But at the same time, they are also different from redirects from a subtopic, since the related word is unlikely to warrant a full subtopic in the target page.
