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 file extension: This is a redirect from a title that is a file extension (such as
.svgand.txt) to a related topic, such as an explanatory article, section of an article or a table. An example is: .jpg
JPEG.
- It leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names and can help writing. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- This redirect is automatically sorted by the first letter (not by the leading dot).
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from file extensions and Category:Unprintworthy redirects. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Mainspace (main-article namespace) redirects from file extensions 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 file extension}}
{{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 file extension}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat on any mainspace redirect from a title that is a file extension (such as
.svgand.txt) to a related topic, such as an explanatory article, section of an article or a table. The entries are automatically sorted in the category by the extension codes without the "." prefix. An example is: - These redirects are automatically sorted to the category by the first letter, and not by the leading dot (.).
