Template:R with possibilities/doc

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 in category namespace is tagged with this rcat, then Category:Category redirects with possibilities is populated. If the 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.
• 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 BlytheJim 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. 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.

Aliases

Please note that common misspellings can also be useful redirects.
