Redirect to:
- From a species to a genus: This is a redirect from a taxon's full binomial name (genus & species) to the taxon's higher level genus. Note that the practice of creating redirects from species names that could be articles is strongly discouraged.
- Also use {{R to monotypic taxon}} when redirecting to a monotypic genus.
- Use {{R taxon with possibilities}} for redirects that could potentially be expanded into their own articles.
- From a subtopic: This is a redirect from a subtopic of the target article or section.
- If the redirected subtopic could potentially have its own article in the future, then also tag the redirect with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.
- To a monotypic taxon: This is a redirect from the only lower-ranking member of a monotypic taxon to its monotypic taxon. In a biology-related article, when for example a genus has only one species, the binomial name may be a redirect to the genus.
- Use {{R from monotypic taxon}} instead when making a redirect from a monotypic taxon to its only member, for example, from a family name to its sole genus.
