Template:R From Species To Genus
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 species to a genus: This is a redirect from a taxon's full binomial name (genus & species) to the taxon's higher level genus. Note that the practice of creating redirects from species names that could be articles is strongly discouraged.
- Also use {{R to monotypic taxon}} when redirecting to a monotypic genus.
- Use {{R taxon with possibilities}} for redirects that could potentially be expanded into their own articles.
 | This template is used on approximately 4,500 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 species to genus by default. Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from species to genus}}
}}
- 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 species to genus}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Occasionally, a redirect might require the use of {{DISPLAYTITLE}} or {{Italic title}} with its
|string=parameter to format the page's title. In those cases the default italic title will interfere with that format and must be subdued. When this rcat tags a redirect from within the Rcat shell template, this is done in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from species to genus|noitalic=yes}}
}}
- or:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from species to genus|noitalic=1}}
}}
- and if used individually:
{{R from species to genus|noitalic=yes}}
- That will subdue the default italic title so no title-display conflict will result.
- Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a taxon's full binomial name (genus & species) to the taxon's higher level genus.
- Also use {{R to monotypic taxon}} when redirecting to a monospecific genus.
- Use {{R taxon with possibilities}} for redirects that could potentially be expanded into their own articles.
