This should work:
#redirect [[:Category:Foo]]

I'm on 1.3.3 and neither #redirect [[:Kategori:Python]] nor #redirect
[[:Category:Python]] works. I'm using my own LanguageTr.php for
translation (not database messages). #redirect [[Kategori:Python]] works
but it adds page to the Kategori:Python. Where am i doing wrong?

Hello,

The patch is only in HEAD actually and I didn't backport it to 1.3.

It's in Title.php version 1.99

Quoting bug report:
<<#REDIRECT [[Category:Music]]
Will add the article to the category and redirect to it.
#REDIRECT [[:Category:Music]]
Redirect but do NOT add it to the category music.>>

in http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100


It's still open as JeLuF pointed out something somehow related that need
patching.
