Template:R animal with possibilities

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 an animal with possibilities: This is a redirect from an animal-related title that could potentially be expanded into an article. A redirect that employs this template will usually be a generally accepted species name that targets an article about a genus (or higher taxon).
  • For guidance on how to start a new page from a section, please see Wikipedia:Summary style. It is important that the topic is notable in accordance with the guideline, and that the article is structured in line with the manual of style; otherwise, there is a possibility that the article will be re-merged and turned back into a redirect.
  • Do not replace these redirected links with piped links.

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Animal redirects with possibilities and Category:Printworthy 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. Animal-related redirects that may become articles someday are suitable for a printed version of this encyclopedia. In other words they are printworthy.

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

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R animal with possibilities}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

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 animal with possibilities}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any mainspace, animal-related redirect that may possibly stand alone as an article about a notable animal subject. If you see a redirect with this template, and you are moved to write the article, then be BOLD!
  • For guidance on how to start a new page from a section, please see Wikipedia:Summary style. It is important that the topic is notable in accordance with the Wikipedia guideline, and that the article is structured in line with the manual of style; otherwise there is a possibility the article will be re-merged and turned back into a redirect.
  • Do not replace these redirected links with piped links.
