| Yes, "speedy renaming" can be done by listing the category at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion#Speedy renaming]]. See [[Wikipedia:Category deletion policy#Speedy renaming procedure]].
| |
|
| |
| "Normal" redirects in the form ''<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Category:Better name]]</nowiki>'' are not currently recommended in category space. Instead, use the template {{tl|Category redirect}}: a bot periodically recategorizes articles in the redirected category to the target category. Any editor can add a category redirect although, in general, established categories should not be unilaterally redirected but should be taken to [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion]] to suggest redirecting as part of a rename / merger of the category.

|
| |
| Categories can be moved as of May 22, 2014. The old name will have {{[[Template:Category redirect|Category redirect]]|New name}} instead of <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[:Category:New name]]</nowiki>.
