If I make a redirect, like the following:

#REDIRECT [[Sophie Cabra]]
[[Category:Elephant characters]]

and then click preview, the category bar is not shown at the bottom of the preview.

Conversely, if I write the following:

[[Category:Elephant characters]]
#REDIRECT [[Sophie Cabra]]

the category bar is shown in the prieview.

If I save the page and view the redirect page, the category bar is shown in either case.

It seems like processing of the preview ends at the redirect. This gives a misleading view of the categories that the redirect will be in, and may mislead people into thinking that a redirect cannot be in a category. If the order does not matter in the saved page, it should not matter in the preview either.
