Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from common nouns. Add this rcat to a redirect page, not a talk page, in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from common noun}}
}}

Template {{Template:Redirect category 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 common noun}}

This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.

• Use this rcat only on mainspace redirects from common nouns to a related word, such as the same root word in the form of a different part of speech.
• For redirect titles that are proper nouns use {{R from proper noun}} instead.
• If a common-noun redirect is not in mainspace, then please do not tag it with this rcat.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many common-noun redirects to related words 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 common noun}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from common noun}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
