- This is a redirect from a subject that potentially could be expanded into an article or other type of associated Wikipedia page. The topic described by the title is more detailed than what is currently provided on the target page, or section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, this redirect may be replaced with an article carved out of the target page. See also Template:R to section, and when appropriate, use both together.
- Conversely, if the topic is not susceptible to a major expansion, tag instead with Template:R to section, or Template:R to list entry, depending on how the topic should be handled.
- Do not replace these redirected links with a link directly to the target page. For more information, follow the category link above or see Category:Template redirects with possibilities.
 | This template is used on approximately 64,000 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. |
 | 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
Use this rcat template in any namespace.
- Use this redirect category (rcat) template for any redirect that, in your opinion, may stand alone as an article on a notable subject or a template. If you see a redirect with this template, and you are moved to write the article, then be BOLD!
- For guidance on how to start a new page from a section, please see Wikipedia:Summary style. It is important that the topic is notable in accordance with the guideline, and that the article is structured in line with the manual of style; otherwise there is a possibility the article will be re-merged and turned back into a redirect.
- Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R with possibilities}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
- Template {{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:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{R with possibilities}}
- This is in accord with the instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- If a redirect in template namespace is tagged with this rcat, then Category:Template redirects with possibilities is populated.
- If a redirect is in categoryspace, then use {{R category with possibilities}} instead of this rcat.
- If a redirect is in any other namespace, then this rcat populates Category:Redirects with possibilities and,
- When a redirect is in the main-article namespace (mainspace), Category:Printworthy redirects is also populated by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Mainspace redirects that may become articles someday are suitable for a printed version of this encyclopedia. In other words they are printworthy.
| 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. |
- Note: It is possible that a redirect from a misspelling may also be the correct spelling of a different subject with possibilities. An example is Jim Blythe
Jim Blyth. However, do not intentionally link to redirects from misspellings. Use a disambiguated title such as Jim Blythe (author), until the possibilities of an article about the author are actually realized. See {{R typo}} for more information.
Draft articles
When a draft exists in draftspace, this rcat will sense it and notify anyone who reads the redirect page with the following:
- This is a redirect from a title that is in draft namespace at Draft:(name of page), so please do not create an article from this redirect (unless moving a ready draft here). You are welcome to improve the draft article while it is being considered for inclusion in article namespace. If the draft link is also a redirect, then you may boldly turn that redirect into a draft article.
That text only appears if there is an actual link either to an aspiring article in draftspace or a redirect from draftspace. If one of those is the case, then the following category will also be populated:
Aliases
Please note that common misspellings can also be useful redirects.
- Also known as... – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used
TemplateData
This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for this template in articles based on this TemplateData.
TemplateData for R with possibilities
Places the redirect in [[Category:Redirects with possibilities]], indicates that the redirect could be turned into a full article. This template takes no parameters.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No parameters specified | ||||||
Links to redirects tagged with this template
If a page wikilinks to a redirect tagged with this template, do not replace it with a direct link to the target page, as a more specific article may be created on the (currently) redirecting page. However, redirects targeting a redirect with possibilities should be changed, as they violate the WP:2R policy, and should then be tagged as {{r avoided double redirect|<!-- name of r with possibilities -->}}.
