Add to this redirect page: Holloway, Natalie

Reason: The "Natalie Holloway" page redirects to the "Disappearance of Natalie Holloway" page, which makes sense. However, under the "People from Clinton, Mississippi" category page, it lists "Disappearance of Natalie Holloway" instead of "Natalie Holloway" as a person from Clinton, Mississippi. I suppose that someone should remove the category from the "Disappearance..." page, too. It's also worth noting that the actual "place" page for "Clinton, Mississippi" is missing some of the people categorized as being from there, including Natalie Holloway, and vice versa.

Notes: This is my first time attempting to edit a category/redirect page like this, so I apologize if I did so incorrectly. I tried to follow the posted guidelines, but I'm not sure that I did. For those who are interested, I came across this by browsing the following map, which uses Wikipedia data: https://pudding.cool/2019/05/people-map/

  Not done @Phatmatt12188: this is somewhat normal (see Wikipedia:Categorization#Sort_keys), you can see lots of other examples at Category:People declared dead in absentia related to that page. We are able to change what letter an article is "sorted under" in a category, but the listing will still be the actual page name. While it would be possible to list the redirect in that category, it is not our normal convention. — xaosflux Talk 02:29, 30 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
  Done on further review, it looks like we're quite inconsistent. I've added the redirect, but will also leave the full article in that category. — xaosflux Talk 02:30, 30 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

This needs to sort as "Holloway, Natalee" via a DEFAULTSORT, but it can't be edited. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 01:22, 26 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
