Category:Redirects from file extensions

The pages in this category are redirects from titles that are file extensions, such as .exe and .txt, to related topics, e.g., .jpgJPEG. To add a redirect to this category, place {{Rcat shell|{{R from file extension}}}} on the second new line after #REDIRECT [[Target page name]]. Alias/shortcuts may also be used; for example: {{Rcat shell}} is a shortcut for {{Redirect category shell}} and may be used interchangeably. For more information, follow the template link. Never substitute rcat(s), nor place them on soft redirects. Also see the complete list of redirect templates and the redirect style guide.

This is a maintenance category. It is used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project and is not part of the encyclopedia. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference 'Show hidden categories' is set. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. Pages are added to tracking categories through templates.

These entries are sorted by their extension codes without the "." prefix. These redirects lead to their titles in accordance with the naming conventions for common names and can help with writing and searches.
