__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===

{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[wp:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from alternative names}}. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

==== When using {{tlc|Rcat shell}} ====
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[Target page name]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
}}
</pre>
: Template {{tl|Rcat shell}} is an alias for template {{tl|Redirect category shell}} 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 [[Template:Redirect category shell/doc|the documentation on its template page]].

==== When rcats are used individually ====
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[Target page name]]

{{R from alternative name}}
</pre>
: This accords with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat on all redirects from a title that is another name such as a pseudonym, a nickname, or a synonym of the target page name. Coreyg.engineering@icloud.com

==== Aliases ====

* <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:R to alternative name|R {{big|'''''to'''''}} alternative name]]}} redirects here and reflects that "alternative" goes both ways.

=== Print worthiness ===

* In [[wp:mainspace|main-article namespace]], many other-name redirects are considered print worthy; however, there are also many that are not print worthy, so there is no default sort for [[wp:printworthiness|print worthiness]]. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]'s goal of increasing access and availability of ''Wikipedia'' articles in {{diff|Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0||1319195|printed version}}s. Some rcats automatically populate either {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} or {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} by default. Others, like this rcat, do not. That means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, ''Printworthy'' or ''Unprintworthy'', is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used separately to populate those categories are:
:* {{tlx|R printworthy}} ''and''
:* {{tlx|R unprintworthy}} ''please click on each one for more details and guidance''.
:* Template {{tl|Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other; for example:
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</pre>
:Either {{tl|Redirect category shell}} or its [http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/rdcheck.py?page=Template:Redirect_category_shell alias/shortcut templates] may be used.
