- 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:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
- REDIRECT (target page name)
- To a country data template: This is a redirect from an alias for that country data template. See Template:Country showdata § Redirect aliases for more information.
</syntaxhighlight>
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any redirect title that targets a country data template, such as {{Country data Turkey}}.
- Each redirect's sort key omits the leading "Country data" string. In those cases where the redirect is recognizably about a country or comparable geographical entity, the sort is analogical – for instance, Template:Country data Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Template:Country data SFR Yugoslavia and Template:Country data Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia are all filed under Yugoslavia. Variant spellings, on the other hand, are filed as they are – for instance, Template:Country data Euskadi is filed under Euskadi because not everybody will know this is the Basque name for Basque Country.
