Usage
edit- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from remote talk pages by default.
- Add this rcat to a talk page in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target discussion page)]]
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from remote talk page}}
}}
- 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 discussion page)]]
{{R from remote talk page}}
- This accords with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any talk page where discussion would otherwise occur except because of its remote location; having few (if any) editors watching the page it is redirected to a page more heavily watched so as to increase the likelihood of the discussion being seen and acted upon.
