Usage
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:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Redr|from alternative name}}
- Template {{Redr}} is an alias for the This is a redirect template, which may be used to add up to seven appropriate rcats to a redirect. For more information see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{R from alternative name}}
- This is in accord 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.
Aliases
- Also known as... – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used
Printworthiness
- In 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 printworthiness. At some point in the future, Jimmy Wales wants to make more printed versions of Wikipedia encyclopedia articles. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category: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:
{{R printworthy}}and{{R unprintworthy}}
- Please click on each one for more details and guidance.
- Template {{This is a redirect}} will accept these rcats just like any other.
- Examples:
{{Redr|from alternative name|printworthy}}
{{Redr|from alternative name|unprintworthy}}
- Either {{This is a redirect}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Redr}}, may be used.
