Target

Why does this redirect to {{R to related topic}} instead of the ostensibly more logical {{R from related word}}? It seems to have been retargeted there in 2018 by Sangdeboeuf and then changed back a few months later by Paine Ellsworth on the grounds of fixing broken redirects, but I'm not sure what the details of this were. —Nizolan ^{(talk · c.)} 18:16, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good question, Nizolan. That is the way I found it back in 2010, and since then it has been used on lots of redirects. If it were to be retargeted to a different rcat template, like "R from related word", then all those backlinks would have to be fixed. Never been that big a deal to change it, I suppose. P.I.
