User:Lenoxus/Subpages/Drafts/Redirect template categorization, V2

This is an update of User:Lenoxus/Subpages/Drafts/Redirect template categorization. All redirect templates, and redirects to them, should be placed into Category:All redirect templates. They should also each be placed into one or more of the following sub-categories, or, if no obvious sub-categories are present, into Category:Uncategorized redirect templates. Thanks! $\sim$ Lenoxus " * " 20:40, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

PS: I'm pretty sure I'm basically done with making these lists; future changes to categorization can simply occur within the categories.
