Printworthiness
 | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of any rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia. |
- In main-article namespace, many redirects from more specific locations that include helpful identifiers are considered printworthy; however, there are many others that are unprintworthy, 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 and any other rcats:
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from more specific geographic name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from more specific geographic name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
