Usage

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> local redirectType = require('Module:Fiction-based redirects to list entries category handler/RedirectType') local typeList = redirectType.getRedirectTypes() local defaultType = redirectType.getDefaultType(typeList) </syntaxhighlight>

Use <syntaxhighlight lang="lua" inline>local categoryType = typeList[i]</syntaxhighlight> (i = a number between 1 and 4) to retrieve the wanted categoryType. Once the categoryType has been retrieved, you can access the following functions:
