Headsup: Deprecation of This is a Redirect and conversion towards Redirect category shell

edit

The template {{This is a redirect}} and its shortcuts (foremost among them being {{redr}}) have been deprecated and should no longer be newly added to redirects; {{Redirect category shell}} or one of its shortcuts ({{Rcat shell}}, {{RCAT shell}}, {{redirect shell}} and {{Rcatsh}}) should be used instead.
Efforts are being made to convert already-existing transclusions of {{Redr}}/{{This is a redirect}} to {{Rcat shell}}/{{Redirect category shell}}, though considering the number of existing transclusions—slightly over 260,000 at the time of writing—this will take some time. Additional helping hands would be more than welcome.
