| {{Substitution|not|nor used to tag [[Wikipedia:Soft redirects|soft redirects]].<br />'''This rcat is for template {{em|shortcuts}} only''' (for example, {{-r|Template:R tsh}} for this template itself) – this rcat is {{big|not}} for alternative template names)}}
| |
| __NOTOC__
| |
| === Usage ===
| |
| {{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
| |
| * This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from template shortcuts}} and, when the shortcut is in the [[wp:Mainspace|main-article namespace]] (mainspace), the {{c|Unprintworthy redirects}} category is also populated by default. 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}}. Template-shortcut redirects from mainspace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[wp:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]].
| |
| * Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| #REDIRECT [[Template:(target page name)]]
| |
|
| |
|
| {{Rcat shell|
| |
| {{R from template shortcut}}
| |
| }}
| |
| </pre>
| |
| : and ''when the redirect is in article mainspace'', printworthiness should also be tagged:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| #REDIRECT [[Template:(target page name)]]
| |
|
| |
| {{Rcat shell|
| |
| {{R from template shortcut}}
| |
| {{R unprintworthy}}
| |
| }}
| |
| </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 [[Template:(target page name)]]
| |
|
| |
| {{R from template shortcut}}
| |
| </pre>
| |
| : This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
| |
| * Use this rcat to tag any redirect that is a shortcut '''''to a [[WP:template namespace|template]]''''', which usually has a longer pagename. The redirect itself does not necessarily have to be a template, e.g., <nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[T:S]]]], which is a template shortcut that is actually in [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]]. Such shortcuts are known as [[WP:pseudo-namespace|pseudo-namespace]] redirects.
| |
| ** Note: Pseudo-namespace template shortcuts such as '''T:S''' above may be transcluded by use of a leading colon:
| |
| ::: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{red|''':'''}}<nowiki>T:S|This text has been "struck through".}}</nowiki></code>, which results in:
| |
| ::: {{:T:S|This text has been "struck through".}}
| |
| :: If the leading colon is not included, then the result is a red link:
| |
| ::: {{T:S|This text has been "struck through".}}
| |
| :: These are also useful as shortcuts to the template page itself:
| |
| ::: {{code|<nowiki>[[T:S]]</nowiki>}}, which results in:
| |
| ::: [[T:S]] ([[File:Redirect arrow without text.svg|35px]][[Template:Strikethrough]])
| |
| * It is important to note that it is the ''target'' that determines the difference between a template shortcut and any other shortcut. If the shortcut redirect is in ''any namespace'' and the target is a template, then the redirect is a "template shortcut". Shortcut redirects that target template pages should ''always'' be tagged with {{tlc|R from template shortcut}} and should ''never'' be tagged with {{tlc|R from shortcut}}, which is meant only for shortcuts that do ''not'' target templates.
| |
| * Important also is the fact that template talk pages are in the [[WP:talk namespace|talk namespace]] and are not in template space; if the shortcut redirect targets a '''talk page''' of ''any'' subject namespace, then use {{tlc|R from shortcut}} ''instead''.
