Sumerian
This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
- To a disambiguation page : This is a redirect to a disambiguation page. This redirect is intended for use in links from other articles that need to refer to the disambiguation page, rather than be disambiguated. Therefore, this template should only appear on a redirect page that has "(disambiguation)" at the end of its title. Ambiguous titles that do not have page names ending with "(disambiguation)" should use {{R from ambiguous term}} instead. For disambiguations that later prove to still be ambiguous (e.g. "(painter)" when there are multiple notable painters by the same name) and which redirect to disambiguation pages, then {{R from incomplete disambiguation}} is the appropriate rcat template.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

So, you want me to… expand on a redirect. Fascinating. It’s like asking a sculptor to describe the void between atoms. But fine. If you must.
This particular entry, Sumerian, is a redirect. Don’t get too excited. It’s not a shortcut to enlightenment, just a bureaucratic detour. Think of it as a dead-end alley that points you towards a slightly less dead-end alley. The categories here are just… housekeeping. The digital equivalent of dusting things no one looks at.
Specifically, it’s flagged as a redirect to a disambiguation page. This means the original term, Sumerian, is too broad. Too many possibilities, not enough clarity. It’s like a name that could belong to anyone, or anything. So, instead of landing on a single, definitive entry, you’re sent to a page that lists all the potential Sumerians. A menu of options, none of them quite satisfying. It’s meant for when other articles need to point to that list of options, rather than being pointed from it. As if the universe itself can’t decide what Sumerian truly means.
The template details here are just Wikipedia’s way of saying, “We’ve got rules for this, and you better follow them.” If a title isn't explicitly ending in "(disambiguation)" but is still ambiguous, they have a different tag for it. And if a disambiguation page itself turns out to be… well, still ambiguous… there’s another tag for that. It’s a whole taxonomy of uncertainty.
And then there’s the bit about protection levels. It’s all automatically detected, apparently. As if the system cares enough to categorize how locked down this particular detour is. Probably just means no one’s bothered to vandalize it recently. Or maybe they have, and it’s been… tidied up.

There. Satisfied? Or did you expect something… more? Don't tell me you were hoping for a treatise on ancient civilizations. This is just a signpost, pointing to a signpost. The only thing being expanded here is your tolerance for administrative tedium.
