ਫਰਮਾ:R to category namespace
When used with the "This is a redirect" (Redr) template:
 This page is a redirect:
|
When used by itself:
- From outside category namespace: This is a redirect from a page outside the category namespace to a category page. This redirect page must be outside the category namespace.
- Redirects in category namespace are soft redirects, and rcats must never be used to tag soft redirects.
- Note: If this page is in category namespace, then it will populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace instead.
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as this template is used in the standard installation of Twinkle. Thank you! |
Purpose
[ਸੋਧੋ]This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into two categories:
- Category:Redirects to category space – for PNRs and CNRs, and
- Category:Unprintworthy redirects – only redirects from the main-article namespace (mainspace) to a category page
- In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Mainspace redirects that target pages in the category namespace 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. |
This rcat is not for use on the soft redirects that are in category namespace. If placed on a category redirect, it will not populate the expected categories; it will instead be sorted to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.
- No rcat should ever be used to tag any soft redirect.
Usage
[ਸੋਧੋ]- Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[:Category:(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to category namespace}}
}}
- and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:
#REDIRECT [[:Category:(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to category namespace}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- Note: A leading colon must be used as shown above ([[:Cat...) or the redirect will populate the target category.
- 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 [[:Category:(target page name)]]
{{R to category namespace}}
- Note: Again, a leading colon must be used as shown above ([[:Cat...) or the redirect will populate the target category.
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a page outside of the category namespace to a category. Be careful to place a colon (:) before the word "Category" in the target as shown above. Otherwise, the redirect will actually be placed into that category, which is not to be desired.
- This rcat should never be used on a redirect that is in the category namespace that targets any other page.
