Template:R with history

• This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect in order to preserve its former content. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
  • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, or for redirects created as a result of a merger (use {{R from merge}} instead), or for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Wikipedia (use {{R with old history}} instead).

Not to be confused with Template:R with old history.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects with history by default. Add this rcat to a redirect page in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R with history}}
}}

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 history}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace that at some point in time was a content page (an article, a Wikipedia project page, etc.), that possesses a significant and meaningul edit history, and yet was not the result of a page merge.

Printworthiness

• This template does not set a default sort for printworthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Although 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 {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.

Examples:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R with history}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R with history}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
