A protected redirect, Template:R from name without diacritics, needs a redirect category (rcat) template added and the double redirect defeated. Please modify it as follows:
#REDIRECT [[Template:R from title without diacritics]] ((Redr|to redirect template|protected))
#REDIRECT [[Template:R to diacritics]] ((Redr|to redirect template|rcon))
Template Redr is an alias for the ((This is a redirect)) template, which is used to sort redirects into one or more categories. No protection rcat is needed, and if ((pp-protected)) and/or ((pp-move)) suffice, the This is a redirect template will detect the protection level(s) and categorize the redirect automatically. (Also, the categories will be automatically removed when and if protection is lifted.) Thank you in advance! – Paine 01:20, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
For the edit request to update the diacritics rcats and categories, please see this talk page. The text has been generalized to cover all possibilities and especially to include minor planet redirects. Paine u/c 13:18, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Straightforward: Check this page. Read the beginning when it says To the same page name with diacritics. Understand that Partia Demokratike e Shqiperise and Democratic Party of Albania have no "same" part whatsoever.
Most likely the redirect was a redirect to a redirect Partia Demokratike e Shqiperise → Partia Demokratike e Shqipërisë. When that also became a redirect for Democratic Party of Albania, the double redirect was fixed by making the diacritics-less version a redirect to the English version and in turn making the template seem a bit weird in meaning.
I suspect there are a lot of cases like this where diacritic redirects are merged with the foreign language redirects in the same fashion. Can the template be changed to better accommodate for this phenomenon? - Klein Muçi (talk) 01:13, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

, and will display that title on the redirect page. Certes (talk) 13:16, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: I have seen this rcat template incorrectly used on redirects that replace a Greek letter with a Latin letter, e.g. a redirect with a Latin A redirecting to a title using a Greek Α. Greek letters do not contain diacritics. The correct rcat to use in that situation appears to be ((R from ASCII-only)), which applies to all such cases that do not involve diacritics or ligatures.
Can a note be added to the template pointing to these other rcats to try to minimize incorrect categorizations? See below for a suggested addition. An analogous note could be added to ((R to ligature)) and related templates.
Longer term, it may also be worth considering a more specific rcat template be created, like ((R to Greek)) or something, and having these all be subcategories of the broader R from ASCII-only. Mdewman6 (talk) 23:22, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
Diff:
Do not use this template with redirects to a title with differences that 1) are ligatures (like æ and Œ – use ((R to ligature)) instead), or 2) are other non-ASCII characters that do not include diacritics (like Greek letters – use ((R to ASCII-only)) instead).
