About
This template resolves soft category redirects.
It takes one parameter, which is the name of a category. If successful, it will return the target of {{category redirect|<target>}} on that category. If unsuccessful, it will return its own original parameter.
Usage
{{Resolve category redirect|categoryname}}

{{Resolve category redirect|1970s}}→ 1970s{{Resolve category redirect|Category:1970s}}→ 1970s

Templates
{{Title year}} and other templates without parameters are now allowed in the {{Category redirect}} target name, as well as basic parser functions, and are evaluated accordingly. Multiple templates are not evaluated, but such functionality can be requested with an appropriate working example.
The character ! is also now allowed (see testcases).
Avoiding deletion of the redirected page
It is helpful to also add {{R from category navigation}} or {{R from template-generated category}} (as appropriate) to indicate that the redirect is required for navigation between category pages. See those template page for full syntax. This also hides a speedy deletion button that is otherwise displayed to administrators.
