Appearance
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 URL: This is a redirect from a URL to an article about a related subject or online resource, which is more often referred to by its official name than by its URL.
![]() | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage
[edit]- If the top-level domain is not sensed automatically (in most cases it it is), it can be specified by
|domain=
or|1=
parameters. - This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from URLs, or the appropriate subcategory.
- It also populates Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. 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 from website URLs 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. |
- Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from URL}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- 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 URL}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Use this template for redirects that are URLs and that represent the article they target. An example of a URL that targets its article is http://www.google.com
