Usage
This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from subtopics. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner, in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT:
#REDIRECT [[Target article title]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subtopic}}
}}
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 subtopic}}
Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect that is a subtopic of the target, if a more specific rcat template (i.e., a more specific subcategory of Category:Redirects from subtopics) is not available. This type of redirect might target an article section ({{R to section}}) and may also have "possibilities" ({{R with possibilities}}) of becoming a separate Wikipedia article. Use those two rcats along with this one, {{R from subtopic}}, when appropriate.
To go to a subsection (for this redirect in particular or at least including coverage of it somewhere within):
#REDIRECT [[Target article title#Section name]]
{{R from subtopic}}
{{R to section}}
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, many redirects from subtopics are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are printworthy, 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 subtopic}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from subtopic}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
Aliases
