Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from related words. Add this rcat to the redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Redr|from related word}}

Template {{Redr}} is an alias for the This is a redirect template, which may be used to add up to seven appropriate rcats, along with their parameters, 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 from related word}}

This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.

Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace to a target page title that is a related word or phrase. Related words might be good candidates for Wiktionary links. They are different from related topics in that a topic may someday have its own article, while a related word or phrase likely will not.

Printworthiness

In main-article namespace, many redirects from related words are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others 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|from related word|printworthy}}
{{Redr|from related word|unprintworthy}}
