Relisted RfC that asked "Should the special page exclude categories that are solely redirects?" Cunard (talk) 23:13, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should the special page exclude categories that are solely redirects? Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 22:26, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Support I agree that category redirects should be excluded from Special:UnusedCategories. We should create a new page property called "categoryredirect", have Template:Category redirect put __CATEGORYREDIRECT__ on category redirects, and finally update the MediaWiki software to exclude category redirects with that page property. The first and last require Phabricator tasks. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 02:25, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• RFCbot invite - Support. Redirect categories that need to be deleted along with the category it redirects to can be speedy deleted under the G8 criterion - and should show up in reports and tools as being eligible - and those that don't meet G8 need to be investigated under a different process. There very well could be a justification for a separate Special:UnusedRedirectCategories if someone decides that's a maintenance task worthy of pursuing, but those redirect categories definitely don't belong here.
