Template:R from letter–word combination/sandbox

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from letter–word combinations. Add this rcat to a redirect page in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from letter–word combination}}
}}

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 page name)]]

{{R from letter–word combination}}

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

• Use this rcat on any redirect in any namespace from a letter–word combination to a topic that describes or explains the combination. The "word" portion must be an actual word or words and not part of a word. The single letter may come before or after the word, or it may be placed between the words.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many redirects from letter–word combinations to topics that describe them are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are thought to be printworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used separately to populate those categories are:

• {{R printworthy}} and
• {{R unprintworthy}}

Please click on each one for more details and guidance.

• Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.

Examples:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from letter–word combination}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from letter–word combination}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
