There are three uses for this template:
- when the correct name is the target of the redirect. In this case, just use {{R from incorrect name}}; the correct name is already available as an article.
- when linking to article where the subject is only mentioned in the target article under the correct name. In this case, the correct use is {{R from incorrect name|Correct Name}}, and [[Correct Name]] is expected to be a redirect page also redirecting to [[TargetPage#section name]]. That is, if this redirect is an incorrect name, there should be a matching redirect for the correct name.
- when linking to a section or anchor within an article, where the #REDIRECT[[TargetPage#section name]] is used. In this case, the correct use is {{R from incorrect name|Correct Name}}, and [[Correct Name]] is expected to be a redirect page also redirecting to [[TargetPage#section name]]. That is, if this redirect is an incorrect name, there should be a matching redirect for the correct name.
