Template:R From CamelCase
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:
|
- 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 camel case title: This is a redirect from a camel case page name. In the initial versions of Wikipedia, all links had to be "CamelCase", i.e., words that used medial capitals; they are "two-humped" like a Bactrian camel. These are kept as redirects to maintain edit history and to avoid breaking links that may have been made externally.
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Purpose
This template is a more specific choice to {{R from alternative capitalization}}, and it is used for redirects from "CamelCase" to more conventional spelling. In the initial versions of Wikipedia, all links had to be CamelCase. When that changed, these redirects were left behind and are a historic part of this encyclopedia.
Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects with old history 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 old CamelCase titles 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 in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from CamelCase}}
}}
- and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from CamelCase}}
{{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 from CamelCase}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat on any redirect from a CamelCase title. An example is AtlasShrugged
Atlas Shrugged. These redirects are kept to maintain edit history and to avoid breaking links that have been made to the redirect, both internally and from external websites. See WP:LINKROT.
