There are three uses for this template:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
