• At some point in the future, Jimmy Wales wants to make a printed version of the full Wikipedia encyclopedia. Some Rcats will automatically place a redirect in either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects. Other Rcats (like this one, for example) do not, which means that 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}}
