Resolves a soft category redirect.

It takes one parameter, which is the name of a category.  It returns that category name, ''unless'' the category exists and is a {{tl|category redirect}} ... when it returns the name of the redirect target.

== Usage ==
<code><nowiki>{{Resolve category redirect|</nowiki>''categoryname''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

== Examples ==
; Category exists and is not redirected: [[:Category:1970s]]
* {{nowrap|<code><nowiki>{{Resolve category redirect|1970s}}</nowiki></code>}} → {{Resolve category redirect|1970s}}
* {{nowrap|<code><nowiki>{{Resolve category redirect|Category:1970s}}</nowiki></code>}} → {{Resolve category redirect|Category:1970s}}

; Category exists and is a soft redirect: [[:Category:Mosques completed in the 19th century]]
* {{nowrap|<code><nowiki>{{Resolve category redirect|Mosques completed in the 19th century}}</nowiki></code>}} → {{Resolve category redirect|Mosques completed in the 19th century}}
* {{nowrap|<code><nowiki>{{Resolve category redirect|Category:Mosques completed in the 19th century}}</nowiki></code>}} → {{Resolve category redirect|Category:Mosques completed in the 19th century}}

; Category exists and is a soft redirect: [[:Category:Organisations]]
* {{nowrap|<code><nowiki>{{Resolve category redirect|Organisations}}</nowiki></code>}} → {{Resolve category redirect|Organisations}}
* {{nowrap|<code><nowiki>{{Resolve category redirect|Category:Organisations}}</nowiki></code>}} → {{Resolve category redirect|Category:Organisations}}

; Non-existent category: [[:Category:Colourless green things]]
* {{nowrap|<code><nowiki>{{Resolve category redirect|Colourless green things}}</nowiki></code>}} → {{Resolve category redirect|Colourless green things}}
* {{nowrap|<code><nowiki>{{Resolve category redirect|Category:Colourless green things}}</nowiki></code>}} → {{Resolve category redirect|Category:Colourless green things}}

== Templates ==
Do not use templates in the target name.

{{tl|Resolve category redirect}} cannot expand any templates in the target name, and the <code>{</code> character caused crashes (as did <code>}</code> and <code>!</code>). So it does not attempt to resolve any redirect where the target includes those characters.

;Example
* [[:Category:1781 in Mexico‎]] contained <code><nowiki>{{category redirect|{{title year}} in New Spain}}</nowiki></code> which cannot be resolved. To be safe, <code><nowiki>{{Resolve category redirect|1781 in Mexico‎}}</nowiki></code> simply returned <code>1781 in Mexico‎</code>.<br />The above example has since been [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:1781_in_Mexico&diff=prev&oldid=1160597791 changed] to <code><nowiki>{{category redirect|1781 in New Spain}}</nowiki></code>, which can be resolved.

==Avoiding deletion of the redirected page==
If the parameter <code>|keep=yes</code> is included in the category redirect, this hides a speedy deletion button that is otherwise displayed to administrators. 

It is helpful to also add {{tl|R from category navigation}} to indicate that the redirect is required for navigation between category pages. See that template page for full syntax.
