Usage

edit
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to monotypic taxon}}
}}
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 to monotypic taxon}}
This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
  • Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from the only lower-ranking member of a monotypic taxon to its monotypic parent taxon. In a biology-related article, when for example a genus has only one species, the binomial name may redirect to that genus.
    • Use {{R from monotypic taxon}} when making a redirect from a monotypic taxon to its only member, for example, from a family name to its sole genus.
  • An unnamed parameter may be used to specify more precisely the kind of organism involved and to sort the article in the appropriate subcategory. At present the four possible sorts are:
Other parameter values and subcategories may be added.

Printworthiness

edit
  • In main-article namespace, many redirects to monotypic taxa are printworthy; however, there are 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:
