This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Template:R from emoji is used to categorize emoji redirects and populates Category:Redirects from emoji when used.
Usage
editThis template can be used in combination with {{Redirect category shell}} or without. This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this template on any redirect from a title that is an emoji, whether or not it is included in the Unicode chart single emoji (i.e. โฅ uses this template).
- For emoji that are a single Unicode character, it should be paired with {{R from Unicode character}}.
- This does not include emoji with skin-tone modifiers, or country flags, which consist of multiple characters. ๐ฉ๐ฟโ๐คโ๐จ๐ผ, for example, is rendered as one character in most web browsers, but is composed of seven (this can be seen in the percent-encoded title of its article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%F0%9F%91%A9%F0%9F%8F%BF%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%A4%9D%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%91%A8%F0%9F%8F%BC).
- For emoji which are a subset of another emoji (such as skin tone variations), use {{R avoided double redirect}} with the value being the base emoji.
When using Template:Redirect category shell
edit{{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add as many appropriate redirect categories as needed to a redirect. Add this redirect category to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from emoji}}
}}
When used individually
edit#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{R from emoji}}
Optional parameters
editEmoji name
editThe name of the emoji should be added using the |1=
parameter. This helps identify the emoji and also sort it by its name.
{{R from emoji|(name)}}
{{R from emoji|1=(name)}}
The |name=
comes from the CLDR and can be found in places such as: https://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/44/annotations/americas.html
Flags
editIf the emoji is a flag, |flag=
should be set.
{{R from emoji|(name)|flag=yes}}
{{R from emoji|1=(name)|flag=yes}}
Examples
edit#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from emoji|Flag: Wales|flag=yes}}
}}
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from emoji|Person: Light Skin Tone}}
