Template:R from species to genus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:
This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
- From a species to a genus : This is a redirect from a taxon's full binomial name (genus & species) to the taxon's higher level genus. Note that the practice of creating redirects from species names that could be articles is strongly discouraged.
- Also use {{R to monotypic taxon }} when redirecting to a monotypic genus.
- Use {{R taxon with possibilities }} for redirects that could potentially be expanded into their own articles.
- Template {{Redirect category shell }} may be used to add one or more rcat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information, see the documentation page below.
When used by itself:
- From a species to a genus : This is a redirect from a taxon's full binomial name (genus & species) to the taxon's higher level genus. Note that the practice of creating redirects from species names that could be articles is strongly discouraged.
- Also use {{R to monotypic taxon }} when redirecting to a monotypic genus.
- Use {{R taxon with possibilities }} for redirects that could potentially be expanded into their own articles.
Warning This template is used on approximately 4,500 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.
Usage
Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from species to genus by default. Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT[[(target article title)]] {{Rcat shell| {{R from species to genus}} }}
- 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 article title)]] {{R from species to genus}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Occasionally, a redirect might require the use of {{DISPLAYTITLE }} or {{Italic title }} with its
|string=parameter to format the page's title. In those cases the default italic title will interfere with that format and must be subdued. When this rcat tags a redirect from within the Rcat shell template, this is done in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell| {{R from species to genus|noitalic=yes}} }}
- or:
{{Rcat shell| {{R from species to genus|noitalic=1}} }}
- and if used individually:
{{R from species to genus|noitalic=yes}}
- That will subdue the default italic title so no title-display conflict will result.
- Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a taxon's full binomial name (genus & species) to the taxon's higher level genus.
- Also use {{R to monotypic taxon }} when redirecting to a monospecific genus.
- Use {{R taxon with possibilities }} for redirects that could potentially be expanded into their own articles.
