@ Bkonrad: {{ R from other disambiguation}} is for redirects where the target page's title has a disambiguator and the redirect's disambiguator doesn't include any word of the disambiguator used in the article title; {{ R from unnecessary disambiguation}} is for redirects where the target page's title may or may not have a disambiguator and the redirect's disambiguator uses additional word(s) that includes the word(s) used in the target page's title's disambiguator (even if the target page's title doesn't have a disambiguator.) With this being said, my edit should be restored since using {{ R from other disambiguation}} on this redirect is not correct. Steel1943 ( talk) 13:20, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
a currently unneeded disambiguation qualifier, along with the example given of Jupiter (planet), strikes me as implying the disambiguation qualifier is the entire parenthetical disambiguator, not a portion of it. Similarly, the description at {{ R from other disambiguation}} seems to imply this case should fall into that category. "1992 film" is a correct disambiguator for this so I'm confused as to why it is unnecessary. What might the decision tree look like to determine whether to use unnecessary dab or other dab? older ≠ wiser 19:24, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Paine Ellsworth and
Steel1943: I think I've found part of where I was getting my initial understanding of this Rcat from -- under
WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT there is this statement: Sometimes, a disambiguated article title, such as
Apostrophe (punctuation), may be moved to an unqualified title based on a consensus that this is the primary topic for the unqualified term. When such a page move is made, the redirect template {{
R from unnecessary disambiguation}} can be used to categorize the redirect that results from the move under
Category:Redirects from unnecessary disambiguation.
While this doesn't strictly exclude the use cases you describe, it seems to me to imply a more limited use.
