|
- 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 an alternative hyphenation: This is a redirect from a title with an alternative hyphenation of the target name. Pages that link to this redirect may be updated to link directly to the target page if that results in an improvement of the text. Do not "fix" such links if they are not broken. Also, these links should not be replaced with piped links.
 | This template is used on approximately 38,000 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. |
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from alternative hyphenations. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative hyphenation}}
}}
- 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 alternative hyphenation}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace from a title with a different correct spelling of the target.
- Pages that link to these redirects may be updated to link directly to the target pages if that results in an improvement of the text. Do not "fix" such links if they are not broken. In addition, these links should not be replaced with piped links.
Parameters
One of two parameters, either |1= or |of=, may be used to alter the text when the other hyphenation is of a name that is different from the target's title. They are used as follows:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative hyphenation|1=(other hyphenation)}}
}}
- or the
1=may be omitted:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative hyphenation|(other hyphenation)}}
}}
- and when the
|of=parameter is used:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative hyphenation|of=(other hyphenation)}}
}}
The text will be changed from ...a different hyphenation of the target name to ...a different hyphenation of (other hyphenation).

Printworthiness
 | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of any 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. |
- In main-article namespace, some redirects from other hyphenations of target titles are considered printworthy; however, there are many others that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness.
- In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used separately to populate those categories are:
{{R printworthy}}and{{R unprintworthy}}
- Please click on each one for more details and guidance.
- Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these and any other rcats:
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from alternative hyphenation}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from alternative hyphenation}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
