 | This template is used on approximately 131,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
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
- {{R to alternative name}} redirects here and reflects that "alternative" goes both ways.

Printworthiness
| File:Stop hand nuvola.svg | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia. |
- 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:
{{R printworthy}}and{{R unprintworthy}}please click on each one for more details and guidance.- Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other; for example:
{{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.
