Can be built and maintained by editing a single page, whereas filling a category requires the editing of multiple pages. Can be embellished with annotations (further details).

One series of templates and categories is used only for redirects. The templates place redirects into the categories. The templates also explain why the redirect exists, for example {{R from merge}} means it was created by a merge or {{R from alternative name}} means that the redirect is an alternative name for the main title.
To add a page to a category, include "[[Category:Category name]]" or "[[Category:Category name|Sortkey]]" in that page's wiki markup.

Change all of its subcategories. (Change the category of each subcategory to the new category.) Change every page that is listed in the old category to the new category:
