== Syntax description ==
=== Mandatory parmeters ===

;description: Describe of the content, (historical) background, and in the case of scientific data, a brief scientific analysis of the media file.

;author: Author(s) of the image. If no individual person is known, use the name of the institution that owns, published or released the file.

=== Other parameters ===

;source: Explain where the image is acquired from. Please specify accurately. For instance:
#''Work of the uploader himself/herself:'' Specify {{tl|Own}}.
#''Acquired from a website:'' Specify the URL of the web page from which it is acquired. Optionally, include a direct link to the image. (Never include a direct link alone.)
#''Scanned from a book or magazine:'' Specify the title, author, publisher, publication year, ISBN and page of the book or title, issue, volume, publication month and year, ISSN (if available) and page of the journal. You can use {{tl|cite book}} and {{tl|cite journal}}.

;date: Date of creation, or date of publication. Although not compulsory, it is advised to stick to the recommendations of {{Section link|Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers|Dates}}. Specifically, please avoid ambiguous dates like 02/03/04 which can refer to 2 March 2004, 3 February 2004, 4 March 2002 or 3 April 2002, depending on the geographical origin of the person who sees it.

;permission: '''Optional'''. Not to be mistaken with license. Description of the permissions granted by the copyright holder. Use only when the accompanying license tag is not enough. Note that the media file must still be tagged with the appropriate license template. Select a copyright tag from [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/All]].

;other versions: '''Optional'''. Links to other versions of this image. The links may be in form of a list of links or thumbnails of the other versions of the image. Please only link to images that can be used instead of the image at hand; do not use this field as a mean of grouping related files. Instead, use [[Help:Categories|categories]].

;additional information: '''Optional'''. Contains other information about this image that doesn't fit somewhere else. For example, information that might be relevant to determining a files proper copyright status (e.g. weblinks) might be provided this way.

Template:R template index

{{Mbox
| type = content
| text = [[Template:R template index]] is an index of commonly used redirect category templates. It should not be transcluded nor substituted to any page in Wikipedia. ''Template {{tl|R help}} redirects here.'' If you see this warning in the history ([[Help:Diff|diff]]) of a redirect, then template <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:R to help|R '''''to''''' help]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> was probably meant instead. Please replace template {{tl|R help}} with template '''{{tl|R to help}}'''.

{{Template shortcut|Rcats}}
{{seealso|Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages}}

This template index page furnishes editors with a practical tool to quickly find the [[WP:RCAT|redirect category templates]] (Rcats) that are used most often. This index template organises the templates by function and, in some cases, provides examples of where and when to use them. For a complete alphabetical list of redirect category templates, see [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages]]. The procedure to use for placing these Rcats on redirects will be found at [[WP:REDCAT]].

At some point in the future, [[Jimmy Wales]] wants to make a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Pushing_to_1.0&oldid=1319195 printed version] of the full ''Wikipedia'' encyclopedia. Some Rcats place a redirect in either [[:Category:Printworthy redirects]] or [[:Category:Unprintworthy redirects]] by default. Other Rcats do not, which means that it is up to editors to choose to the best of their knowledge which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The Rcats that can be used separately to populate those categories are:
* {{tlx|R printworthy}} and
* {{tlx|R unprintworthy}}
Please click on each one for more details.

==Notes==
* {{tl|This is a redirect}} can be used to group redirect category templates. This is useful with one exception: When you place an Rcat on a redirect that gives you the choice to change from one category to another, then you will not be able to use the {{tl|This is a redirect}} template. The Rcat {{tl|R from plural}} is a good example of this. {{tl|R from plural}} is used to redirect from a plural title to a singular one. Most of these redirects are "unprintworthy", so {{tl|R from plural}} automatically places those redirects in [[:Category:Unprintworthy redirects]]. To identify a redirect from a plural title as printworthy in combination with {{tl|This is a redirect}}, use {{tl|R from printworthy plural}} as the redirect template name.
* For Talk pages, there are only certain redirect category templates you should use. The only Rcats that apply to Talk pages are {{tl|R to talk}}, {{tl|R from shortcut}}, those associated with moves, merges and cross-namespace redirects. For more information, click on the templates.
