Template:R to scientific name
When used inside the {{Redirect category shell }} template:
- To scientific name of an organism : This is a redirect from a vernacular ("common") name to the scientific name of an organism (or group of organisms).
When used by itself:
- To scientific name of an organism : This is a redirect from a vernacular ("common") name to the scientific name of an organism (or group of organisms).
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
Usage
- Use this rcat for any redirect that is the vernacular or common name for the scientific name of an organism that is targeted.
- An unnamed parameter may be used to specify more precisely the kind of organism involved and to put the article in the appropriate subcategory. For example,
{{R to scientific name|fungus}}sorts the redirect to Category:Redirects to scientific names of fungi.
- Parameters currently supported and the resulting categories are:
Unrecognized switch parameters will place the page into the category Category:Redirects to scientific names using unknown values for parameter 1.
- To sort to the basic category, place this rcat on a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT[[(target article title)]] {{Rcat shell| {{R to scientific name}} {{R printworthy}} }}
- 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 to scientific name}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat only to tag mainspace redirects to scientific names of organisms. If the redirect is to some other scientific or technical name, then use {{R to technical name }} instead.
- This rcat automatically populates both Category:Redirects to scientific names or one of its subcategories and Category:Printworthy redirects. 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 common names of organisms to their scientific nomenclatures are usually suitable for a printed version. In other words they are usually printworthy. For those such redirects that are not printworthy, set the parameter
|unprintworthy=equal to "true" in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell| {{R to scientific name|unprintworthy=true}} {{R unprintworthy}} }}
- or if used individually:
{{R to scientific name|unprintworthy=true}}
- That will suppress the Printworthy redirects category and populate Category:Unprintworthy redirects.
