Intended usage edit

This template is clearly meant for redirects like and Æolus to their ASCII-only equivalents Eth and Aeolus. Is it also meant for redirects like Großdeutsche Volkspartei and Γ Orionis whose targets (Greater German People's Party and Bellatrix) happen to be ASCII-only but which are not ASCIIfied versions of the redirects?

To editor Gorobay: Both the wording of this rcat and a browse through the category entries seems to allow any non-ASCII redirect to an ASCII-only title that is correctly associated with it, even if not a direct ASCIIfied version.  Paine Ellsworth  put'r there  19:55, 21 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
