The {{para|of}} parameter can be used to specify the more common name. This is useful when redirecting from an obscure term to a more common one that is a subsection or anchor in a broader article that itself is not the other name of what is being redirected. For example [[Primary research]] redirects to [[Research#Forms of research]], where this subtopic is treated under the term "original research"; the redirect has {{tnull|R from alternative name|of{{=}}original research}}, in addition to {{tlx|R to section}} and {{tlx|R from subtopic}}.


=== Printworthiness ===
====Aliases====
* In [[wp:mainspace|main-article namespace]], many other-name redirects are considered printworthy; however, there are also many that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for [[wp:printworthiness|printworthiness]].

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

Usage

Unlike some other templates, you can use this rcat template in any namespace.

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from alternative names. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

When using {{Rcat shell}}

#REDIRECT [[Target page name]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
}}
Template {{Rcat shell}} is an alias for the template {{Redirect category shell}}, which may be used to add to a redirect page as many appropriate rcats as needed (usually from one to seven) along with their parameters in a demarcated place. For more information, see the documentation on Rcat shell's template page.

When rcats are used individually

#REDIRECT [[Target page name]]

{{R from alternative name}}
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.

Optional parameter

The |of= parameter can be used to specify the more common name. This is useful when redirecting from an obscure term to a more common one that is a subsection or anchor in a broader article that itself is not the other name of what is being redirected. For example Primary research redirects to Research#Forms of research, where this subtopic is treated under the term "original research"; the redirect has {{R from alternative name|of=original research}}, in addition to {{R to section}} and {{R from subtopic}}.

Aliases

Printworthiness

  • In the main (article) namespace, many other-name redirects are considered printworthy. However, there are also many that are not printworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category: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:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut templates may be used.

TemplateData

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for this template in articles based on this TemplateData.

TemplateData for R from alternative name

Places a redirect in [[Category:Redirects from alternative names]]. This template can be added to a redirect which has a name which is a valid alternative to the title of the target page. There are several more specific alternative name redirect templates which can be used instead of this general one. Do not use this if the redirect is an incorrect title for the target page; use {{R from incorrect name}} instead.
