Usage
edit- This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from year format and Category:Unprintworthy 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. Redirects from years with unnecessary disambiguation are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.
Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this 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. |
- Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from year}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- 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 from year}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a formatted year title, such as YYYY AD/CE/BCE or AD YYYY, to its associated article about the year's events.
- Sort keys have been padded (by default) with leading zeros for correct sorting within the redirect category.
- This redirect's category is a subcategory of Category:Redirects from unnecessary disambiguation, so its associated rcat, {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}, should not be used with this rcat.
