Sometimes those lists are contained in the genus article, so creating binomial redirects to the genus would just loop those blue links back to the article a reader started on. In general practice, species binomials are not redirected to the genus unless monotypic. 358:, the city's regional unit; one is a subset of the other. I can understand the use of maintenance categories, but the benefit of creating such redirects for the sake of editors over the utility to readers doesn't seem worth it. Thanks for your thoughts on my comments, and for the suggestion to see what light 572:. Short analogy: "my pets" is a topic; "my cat" and "my dog" are subtopics; "my cat when sleeping" and "my dog in the back yard" are more specific names, in this case for different states of those subtopics.

should not be used to redirect species articles to genus article unless they're monotypic. Except for that kind of case, species should not redir to genus articles at all, for the link-loop reason given above. If I linked to a species and got a redlink, I would divide that up temporarily like
293:, even stubs with very little information on a species are usually kept in deletion discussions. Genus articles usually have "virtually no information" on the species, other than the fact that it is contained in that genus. What use would a list of species (like 416:, so that there is a blue-link present that goes to the genus, but the species name remains redlinked, since there's a general consensus that such redlinks inspire article creation. Looking through "what links here", I can see some uses that don't make sense. 318:
what the intended usage should be. Another thing to consider is that all of these rcat templates sort redirects to "maintenance" categories, which are set up to be monitored by contributors for reasons they hopefully make clear. So the inclusion of

also works, since "military monastic order" is a more specific name for the same thing as "military order" in the monastic sense, which is the primary topic for "military order".
524:, or at least subtopics treated separately, e.g. in their own sections or in a section on Southwestern cuisine. If they were treated separately like that, use 699:, but the labeling is correct for that case, and the template at some point could be converted to a special template and category for that case specifically. 180:.

Per 398: 314:, and it may very well be that this rcat was meant for a different usage. The only way to determine that would be to ask the creator of the rcat, 857: 605:; it's a subspecies not covered in any depth and unlikely ever to be. If that changes and we have a whole section for it at some point, then use 874: 247:
