 | This template is used on 5,000+ 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 nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage
Use this rcat template in any namespace.
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects for convenience. Add this rcat to a redirect page in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Redr|for convenience}}
- 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 and its comparison page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{R for convenience}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat on any redirect in any namespace that is only intended to make it easier to get to the target page; the target is a more appropriate page for the purpose of the redirected page. For example, this may be a redirect from a title that is another name, a pseudonym, a nickname, or a synonym as is used colloquially, but is not currently an officially accepted term, though it may have been at one time. Since many types of redirects may fall into this category, this rcat should be reserved for redirects that do not fit other descriptions. This redirect leads to the title in accordance with naming conventions for common names and can help with searches and writing.
Aliases
- Also known as... – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used
Printworthiness
- In main-article namespace, many redirects for convenience are considered unprintworthy; however, there are also many that are 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|for convenience|printworthy}}
{{Redr|for convenience|unprintworthy}}
- Either {{This is a redirect}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Redr}}, may be used.
