Description

Hi, yesterday I ran Pywikibot's "category_redirect.py" script on ckbwiki, but it didn't work and showed the message WARNING: No redirect templates defined for wikipedia:ckb while we have ckbwiki message for self.cat_redirect_cat. I think this script will not work at all on any project (as far as I understand) because of missing a template list for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Category_redirect. Thanks!

Note: there are a lot of missing L10N for Wikimedia sites. Maybe the category_redirect_templates stuff should be rewritten to use wikibase for Wikimedia families.

Yes, that would make maintenance a lot easier, not only due to missing local names, but also because local templates get renamed every now and then.
