Does this template/category have any current or planned connection with the RFD process? That is, is someone supposed to periodically browse through this category and RFD all the redirects that can't easily be retargeted? -- SoledadKabocha ( talk) 23:05, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
It appears that the target article must be capitalized on the redirect page for it to appear in Category:Redirects to an article without mention. Hyacinth ( talk) 21:51, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
To editor Hyacinth: – Hi, Hy! (sorry, couldn't resist) I wish I had a more meaningful answer for you; when an editor creates an rcat template and makes it conform to one namespace, it is usually because they are only interested in monitoring and maintaining redirects in that one particular namespace. I've checked the history as well as the category and subcats and it appears that this one has not been monitored for a long time. For example, the {{ DATE}} template was changed years ago to include both the month and year (not just the year), so subbing that template has no effect and the redirects just go to the parent cat. I'm going to evaluate the cats, subcats and associated templates to get this to work correctly again, and I have to tell you that I would prefer to just deal with the mainspace redirects, at least for now. Do you have a particular need for this rcat to be used in other namespaces? – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 16:19, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Perhaps you could be kind enough to clarify something for me? I don't understand why you created the substructure of categories to the main Redirects to an article without mention cat. If the whole idea is to go through the member redirects to either find a way to mention them in their target articles or to delete them, then why are the subcats needed? There are only 64 total members in the parent cat and subcats, so why not just go through them and disposition them? I don't see the need for the subcats. – Paine 21:20, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
This may or may not require any changes to the documentation, but I wanted to get some input. I'm making two assumptions:
An example: the redirect Capture of the El Mosquito, a redirect without mention to Capture of the sloop Anne. True, the phrase "Capture of the El Mosquito" does not appear there, but "El Mosquito" is given as an alternate name of the Anne. The related article Roberto Cofresí has sources saying the Anne is popularly thought to have been renamed El Mosquito, even though official documents continued to use the formal name.
In short, Capture of the El Mosquito is a perfectly fine redirect, even though the exact phrase doesn't appear at the target article, and probably need not ever do so. Thus, I'd like to remove {{ R without mention}} from it.
Any concerns with this action? Are there steps I could take to prevent re-tagging of the redirect? Even if you agree with my interpretation, is this a change that we should document? -- BDD ( talk) 15:50, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
