====Redirects having a target that is incompatible with the category==== {{Shortcut|WP:INCOMPATIBLE}} Alternative names should not look out of place on a category page. This is often a way to satisfy disagreements over renaming an article when more than one name seems equally valid. The alternative name(s) becomes a redirect and gets categorized the same way as its target. Another example is when a single article covers things known by multiple names, such as a person who is known in multiple fields of endeavour under different names, a merged article about three different newspapers, or a sketch comedy television show whose name exists on Chabadpedia as a redirect to the comedy troupe that created it. In such a case, consideration needs to be given to which title should be reflected in an individual category. Placing such a category on the target article, with the alternative title in pipetext, ''does not'' accomplish the desired purpose, because pipetext in a category link only affects how a title is ordered alphabetically, ''not'' how it actually appears. *''Examples:'' **[[A Racial Program for the Twentieth Century]] is a hoax quotation by the phony author Israel Cohen. The redirect to that article, {{no redirect|Israel Cohen (hoax)}}, belongs in [[:Category:Nonexistent people used in hoaxes]] but the article does not. **[[Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner]] is an article that covers both the cartoon and its titular characters. Categories that refer to one of the characters, but not both—such as [[:Category:Fictional coyotes]], [[:Category:Fictional flightless birds]], and [[:Category:Fictional birds]]—are placed on the appropriate redirects.
