Usage
Use this rcat template in any namespace.
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from long names. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Redr|from long name}}
- Template {{Redr}} is an alias for the This is a redirect template, which may be used to add up to seven appropriate rcats, along with their parameters, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation on its template page and its comparison page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{R from long name}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat on any redirect from a title that is a complete or more complete name of a person, organization, legislative act etc. It leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names and can help writing and searches.
Aliases
- Also known as... – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used
Printworthiness
- In main-article namespace, many redirects to shorter names are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are thought to be printworthy, 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 long name|printworthy}}
{{Redr|from long name|unprintworthy}}
- Either {{This is a redirect}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Redr}}, may be used.
