To a related topic: This is a redirect to an article about a similar topic.
- Redirects from related topics are different than redirects from related words, because a related topic is more likely to warrant a full and detailed description in the target article. If this redirect's subject is notable, then also tag it with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.

With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
- This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Wikipedia (use {{R with old history}} instead).

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

McGuire]] took the position as Chargé d'Affaires ad interim.<ref name="history.state.gov">{{cite web|url=https://history.state.gov/countries/namibia|title=A Guide to the United States’ History of Recognition, Diplomatic, and Consular Relations, by Country, since 1776: Namibia|website=history.state.gov|access-date=November 8, 2023}}</ref> McGuire would later win three [[Superior Honor Award]]s from the State Department.
