 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:R from short name. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on 27,000+ pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template should not be substituted. |
Usage
Use this rcat template in any namespace.
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from short names. Add this rcat to a redirect page in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{R from short name}}
- Template {{This is a redirect}} may also be used to add up to seven appropriate rcats to a redirect. For more information see the template documentation and its comparison page. Use it to tag a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Redr|from short name}}
- Note: {{Redr}} is an alias for the This is a redirect template.
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat for a title that is a shortened form of a full article title or a shorter form of a person's full name. Also use for incomplete names and titles, such as "East End".
- For abbreviations and initialisms, such as "UN", use {{R from initialism}} instead (unless the initials redirect to a person's name – then use this template, R from short name).
Aliases
- Click here for a list of templates that redirect here and may also be used.
Printworthiness
- In main-article namespace, many shorter-named redirects to longer-named titles 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 short name|printworthy}}
{{Redr|from short name|unprintworthy}}
- Either {{This is a redirect}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Redr}}, may be used.
