It is correct that the REDIRECT command will overwrite/hide all the content on the page. It is recommended that the page's content be blanked, but some like to use it as "hidden content" in the possible event the redirect command might get removed.

And Categories should not be used on Redirect pages except as mentioned, in very rare exceptions (basically, leave to Staff to do if it needs doing).

Now, don't confuse REDIRECTS with DISAMBIGUATION pages. A different animal which also has a few standard practices of minimalism, but exceptions are less rare.
