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.
  • 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 (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.

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 -->}}.
