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. 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]]. That is, if this redirect is an incorrect name but the target article isn't the correct 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.
This template inserts the redirect into the following categories:
- Category:Redirects from incorrect names semantically, these redirects should never be used; only the correct name should ever be used
- Category:Redirect templates
- Category:Unprintworthy redirects Unprintworthy redirects would not be used in a printed version; for example, no unprintworthy redirect would be used in an index for a printed encyclopedia
- Category:All redirect templates
For other redirect templates of this type, see Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages
