Template:R to ASCII-only

When used inside the {{Redirect category shell }} template:

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

To an ASCII-only title : This is a redirect from a title with differences that are non-ASCII symbols, and yet, they are not diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, and so forth – use {{R from diacritic }} instead) or ligatures (use {{R from ligature }} instead) to a title in only basic ASCII characters.

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

When used by itself:

To an ASCII-only title : This is a redirect from a title with differences that are non-ASCII symbols, and yet, they are not diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, and so forth – use {{R from diacritic }} instead) or ligatures (use {{R from ligature }} instead) to a title in only basic ASCII characters.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace .

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to ASCII-only titles and, when the redirect is in the main-article namespace (mainspace), Category:Unprintworthy redirects is also populated 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 . Mainspace redirects from titles with non-ASCII characters are usually not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy. See below for what to do for the few redirects to ASCII-only page titles that are printworthy.

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 in the following manner:

#REDIRECT[[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to ASCII-only}}
}}

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

#REDIRECT[[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to ASCII-only}}
{{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[[(target page name)]]
{{R to ASCII-only}}

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

Use this rcat on any redirect from a title with differences that are non-ASCII symbols, and yet, they are not diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, and so forth – use {{R from diacritics }} instead) or ligatures (use {{R from ligature }} instead) to a title in only basic ASCII characters.

Printworthy parameter

|1=printworthy – By default, this template tags and categorizes redirects as unprintworthy. Use the first parameter to subdue that category and populate Category:Printworthy redirects instead in the following manner:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to ASCII-only|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

or

{{R to ASCII-only|printworthy}}
