Template:R to redirect template

When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:

Template {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more  rcat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation page below.

When used by itself:

• To a redirect category (rcat) template: This is a redirect from an alias/shortcut (usually), or from a redirect that is the result of a page move/rename, to a redirect category ( rcat) template.

Template documentation

This documentation is  transcluded from Template:R to redirect template/doc. (Edit | history)
Note to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.

Usage

• This redirect category ( rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to redirect templates by default. If placed on a page in a namespace other than template space, then it will also populate Category:Redirects to template namespace (for  PNRs and  CNRs). When it is used to tag a  main-article namespace (mainspace) redirect, then it will also populate Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in Template:Diff. Redirects in mainspace that target pages in the template namespace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are  unprintworthy.

• Add this rcat to a  redirect page in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[Template:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to redirect template}}
}}

and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:

#REDIRECT [[Template:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to redirect template}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

Template {{Rcat shell}} is an alias for the Redirect category shell template, which may be used to add as many appropriate rcats as needed, usually from one to seven, along with their parameters, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

#REDIRECT [[Template:(target page name)]]

{{R to redirect template}}

This is in accord with instructions found at  WP:REDCAT.

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect that targets a redirect category (rcat) template. The redirect may be a  shortcut or the result of a page move/rename. When the redirect is a shortcut, then it is a "template shortcut" no matter what namespace it is in and should also be tagged with {{R from template shortcut}}.
