• This special redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Soft redirects connected to a Wikidata item. It is "special" because it is used only to tag soft redirects that are connected to Wikidata items. To tag hard redirects that are connected to Wikidata, use the {{R with Wikidata item}} rcat template.

A typical soft redirect may appear as:

{{wiktionary redirect|(page name)}}

{{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}}

• Use this rcat on all soft redirects in any namespace from titles that are used as connections to other Wikimedia projects. See the category for examples.
• Note that the {{Redirect category shell}} (Rcat shell) template is not used on soft redirects, so this rcat template should only be used without the Rcat shell template.

This rcat takes one unnamed parameter, |1=, that may be used when a Wikidata "Q" number does not readily fill in, and you know that it exists on Wikidata. An example would be as follows:

{{wiktionary redirect|Duval (surname)}}

{{Soft redirect with Wikidata item|21491525}}

...where the number on Wikidata is Q21491525.

Technical note This template will automatically enter the item number if the soft redirect title is on Wikidata and is linked from that page. Any editor who is familiar with Wikidata can link to a soft redirect from Wikidata.

• Also known as... – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used

This template automatically places redirects that are not linked to Wikidata items in the tracking category Category:Unlinked Wikidata redirects. Please fix these, either by removing {{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}} or by linking them to Wikidata.
