The pages in this category are redirects from Middle-earth related titles for "minor topics or titles" to "lists of minor entities" − types of articles that are collections of brief descriptions and that cover the redirects' subjects. To add a redirect to this category, place ((Rcat shell|((R ME to list entry)))) on the second new line (skip a line) after #REDIRECT [[Target page name]]. For more information follow the links. Never substitute redirect template(s), nor place them on soft redirects.

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories.

This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.
These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

This administrative category is intended to collect all the redirects related to J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium that point to list entries. It is by no means complete, though if a way is found to keep it up-to-date, please note this here. Please do not delete these redirects, as some of them contain important edit history for text located elsewhere, and some have associated talk pages with redirect and deletion discussions.

Adding a redirect to this category implies that the topic is not notable enough to have a separate page, but rather should me mentioned in a list of similar topics. Usually the redirect should also be categorised according to the nature of the subject, e.g. to Category:Middle-earth Dúnedain etc., where it will appear in italics.

To list a redirect to this category, use ((R ME to list entry)). It should be used if the target list is arranged alphabetically (like Minor places in Middle-earth or List of Middle-earth Dwarves); if the list is embedded into an article (like House of Hador or Númenor), use rather ((R ME to section)) and Category:Middle-earth redirects to sections.
