{{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. At some point in the future, [[Jimmy Wales]] wants to make more {{diff|Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0||1319195|printed versions}} of ''Wikipedia'' encyclopedia articles.  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''.
