Usage

[edit ]

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from alternative transliterations and 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 from less common transliterations 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 (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT[[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative transliteration}}
{{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 article title)]]
{{R from alternative transliteration}}

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

Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect that is a less common transliteration of the target or an associated spelling. If this rcat is used for a spelling that is associated with the target, and yet is not the target itself, then the unnamed parameter may be used as follows:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative transliteration|(associated spelling)}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

or if applied individually:

{{R from alternative transliteration|(associated spelling)}}

That will alter the wording to, "The prevalent spelling is (associated spelling)."

This template sorts redirects to a subcategory of Category:Redirects from modifications, so template {{R from modification }} should not be used with this template.
