Template:R to redirect template/doc

Usage

This rcat template is usually used in template namespace; however, it can be used in any namespace.

• 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. When it is used to tag a main-article namespace (mainspace) redirect, then it will also populate Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default.
• Add this rcat to a redirect page]in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[Template:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to redirect template}}
}}

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

#REDIRECT [[Template:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to redirect template}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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)]]

{{R to redirect template}}

• 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}}.
