Category:Redirects to embedded anchors

The pages in this category are redirects to embedded {{anchors}} in articles. To add a redirect to this category, place {{Rcat shell|{{R to anchor}}}} on the second new line (skip a line) after #REDIRECT [[Target page name]]. For more information follow the links. Never substitute redirect template(s), nor place them on soft redirects. See also the complete list of redirect templates and the redirect style guide.

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 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. 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).

Redirects to anchors are usually created when the anchor covering a particular term which has insufficient independent scope to write a section about, much less a whole article, but the term is nonetheless important within the field, and useful to link from other articles in the field of expertise. Such redirects allow a reader to search for and find useful information about the term and similar related material of the defining article. Anchors may also be used when section names change, so that redirects to sections are not broken. Anchors may also be used in tables; however there are some restrictions where only the id= attribute can be used as a table anchor. See the documentation on the anchor template page for details. While technically, section headers are "anchors", redirects to such headers should be sorted to Category:Redirects to sections using {{R to section}} instead.
