Template:R from domain name

When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:

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 domain name: This is a redirect from a domain name to an article about an associated entity or website, which is more often referred to by its official name than by its domain name.
  • Use this redirect link (without piping) when the link in the context specifically concerns the website. Other pages using this link should be updated to replace the text with the redirect target (again, without piping).

Usage

Use this template on mainspace redirects only.

• The |domain= and |1= parameters are no longer used to specify the top-level domain (such as .com or .org). The top-level domain and specific categorization are automatically sensed using {{#invoke:Domain handler|getTopLevelDomain}}.
• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from domain names, or the appropriate subcategory as sensed by {{#invoke:Domain handler|getTopLevelDomain}}.
• 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 domain names are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.

• Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from domain name}}
{{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 domain name}}

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

• Use this template for redirects that are domain names and that represent the article they target. An example of a domain name of a website that targets its article is www.nytimes.comThe New York Times.

Template parameters[Edit template data]

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
domain	domain 1	This parameter was originally used to apply the top-level domain for categorization, but it is now rarely needed. That is because the top-level domain is automatically sensed using {{#invoke:Domain handler|getTopLevelDomain}}. Suggested values .com .org .net	Line	optional
printworthy	printworthy	A yes or no value indicating whether this redirect is printworthy. Suggested values yes no Auto value no	Line	optional
lowercase	lowercase	This parameter controls the capitalization of the page title. If set to "yes", it forces the first letter of the title to be lowercase. If set to "no", it keeps the first letter unchanged. If not specified (or set to anything else than "yes" or "no"), it uses {{#invoke:Domain handler|adjustTitleCapitalization}} to set the title automatically. The result is applied through {{DISPLAYTITLE:}}. Suggested values yes no Auto value	Unknown	optional
