{{helpme}} I was unable to redirect
- Redirect where? DebateKid 15:35, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
1. Tamil Brahmins (wiki page) 2. Tamil Brahmins (catgory)
to Tamil brahmins (category)
The actual article is placed improperly at Tamil brahmins instead of Tamil Brahmins.... Just needed all the stuff going to the category.
Trying things create Duplicate Entries in the categories.
Kindly help resolving the problem
ALso want to move the category to
Tamil Brahmin instead of Tamil brahmin
Brahmin is a noun.. and has to be Starting with Capital

- Currently:
- Tamil Brahmins redirects to Category:Tamil brahmins
- Tamil brahmins redirects to Category:Tamil brahmins
- Category:Tamil Brahmins redirects to Category:Tamil brahmins which contains both Tamil Brahmins and Tamil brahmins
- I don't quite understand what you want the end result to be, but I think you want something like this:
- Move Category:Tamil brahmins to Category:Tamil Brahmins using the move tab at the top of the category page. This will overwrite the current redirect.
- Change both Tamil Brahmins and Tamil brahmins to redirect to the new title Category:Tamil Brahmins to avoid a double-redirect.
- Hope this helps - happy editing. Hoof Hearted 15:37, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Moving/Redirecting
Wait, I think DebateKid is making some mistakes in his attempts to help. I take it back, DebateKid did it correctly.
You should move from the category page, not the discussion page. Moving the main page automatically moves both the main page and the talk page. Your move missed the main page- Redirects to categories should be made with a preceding colon, so the redirect link will look like this: #REDIRECT [[:Category:Tamil Brahmins]]. Using the colon places the link on a page without putting the page in the category. This is the root cause of all of BalanceRestored's "Duplicate Entries".
I will fix it and you can review what I have done to determine if it's what you want. Hoof Hearted Oops, failure on my part. I thought you could move a category like any other page, but it turns out you have to rename all the category links on the subpages. It's not that many, so I'll take care of that too.
