__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects for convenience}}. Add this rcat to a [[WP:Redirect pages|redirect page]] in the following manner:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R for convenience}}
}}
</pre>
: Template {{tl|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:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R for convenience}}
</pre>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any [[wp:namespace|namespace]] that is intended to make it easier to get to the target page; the target is a more appropriate page for the purpose of the redirected page.  For example, this may be a redirect from a title that is another name, a pseudonym, a nickname, or a synonym as is used ''colloquially'', but is ''not currently an officially accepted term'', though it may have been at one time.  Since many types of redirects may fall into this category, this rcat should be reserved for redirects that do not fit other descriptions.  These redirects lead to their target titles in accordance with naming conventions for [[wp:common name|common name]]s and can help with searches and writing.

=== Printworthiness ===
{{info|image=Stop hand nuvola.svg|Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the '''[[WP:Version 1.0 Editorial Team|Version 1.0 Editorial Team]]''', who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of ''Wikipedia''.}}
* In [[wp:mainspace|main-article namespace]], many redirects for convenience are considered unprintworthy; however, there are also many that are printworthy, so there is no default sort for [[wp:printworthiness|printworthiness]].  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 versions}}.  Some rcats automatically populate either {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} or {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} by default.  Others, like this rcat, do not, and 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.
:: '''Examples:'''
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R for convenience}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R for convenience}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</pre>
: Either {{tl|Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{tl|Rcat shell}}, may be used.
