Template:R to redirect template/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:R to redirect template.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__

This template is used on approximately 4,800 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects.

Usage

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to redirect templates by default. If placed on a page in a namespace other than template space, then it will also populate Category:Redirects to template namespace (for PNRs and CNRs). When it is used to tag a main-article namespace (mainspace) redirect, then it will also populate Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Redirects in mainspace that target pages in the template namespace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.

Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia.

Add this rcat to a redirect page in the following manner:

REDIRECT Template:(target page name)

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

To a redirect category (rcat) template: This is a redirect from an alias/shortcut (usually), or from a redirect that is the result of a page move/rename, to a redirect category (rcat) template.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

__EXPECTSHORTPAGE__

</syntaxhighlight>

and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:

REDIRECT Template:(target page name)

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

To a redirect category (rcat) template: This is a redirect from an alias/shortcut (usually), or from a redirect that is the result of a page move/rename, to a redirect category (rcat) template.

From an unprintworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would not be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

__EXPECTSHORTPAGE__

</syntaxhighlight>

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 Template:(target page name)

To a redirect category (rcat) template: This is a redirect from an alias/shortcut (usually), or from a redirect that is the result of a page move/rename, to a redirect category (rcat) template.

</syntaxhighlight>

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

Use this rcat to tag any redirect that targets a redirect category (rcat) template. The redirect may be a shortcut or the result of a page move/rename. When the redirect is a shortcut, then it is a "template shortcut" no matter what namespace it is in and should also be tagged with {{R from template shortcut}}.

{{Anchor}} – Creates an HTML anchor that can be linked to
- {{Visible anchor}} – Highlights the linked text, like this.
{{Section link}} – Link to an anchor or section
{{R for convenience}} – For placement on the redirect page
- {{R from shortcut}} – For shortcut boxes
- {{R to redirect template}} – For template redirects
