R from notable event, meeting, summit, or conference?

What is the appropriate redirect categorization from a notable event, meeting, summit, or conference? Closest I found is {{R from subtopic}}? Several scientific organizations got their start at notable conferences/meetings. GobsPint (talk) 21:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

note

per an rfd, a new rcat should be created and the old title at Template:R from subtitle be recreated as having a new deprecation notice as explained there. Should it be called Template:R from subtitle alone or another? Toadette^Edit! 22:32, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I missed this note - but for reference for anyone reading this in the future, I created a new rcat-redirect from {{R from subtitle alone}}, and created a template-dab page at {{R from subtitle}} to distinguish between that and {{Template:R from title and subtitle}}.

Redirect from an examination, test, or certification?

When creating redirects for notable certifications to the certification body, is {{R from subtopic}} the preferred option? GobsPint (talk) 04:33, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Categorize templates based on namespace(s)

Moved from Template talk:Redirect template § Categorize templates based on namespace(s)

I'm developing a tool that, among other things, places RCat templates on pages. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to determine which templates can be used in which namespaces. Would anyone be opposed if I used a script that ran through all the templates and assigned them to Category:All namespace redirect templates, Category:Main namespace redirect templates, Category:Help namespace redirect templates, Category:Portal namespace redirect templates, Category:Talk namespace redirect templates, Category:Template namespace redirect templates, Category:Wikipedia namespace redirect templates, Category:Category namespace redirect templates, Category:User namespace redirect templates, and/or Category:Other namespace redirect templates? --Ahecht (TALK

I don't see any issues with categorising the templates like that, although I'm not sure that applying the templates to is something that can be reliably automated? Thryduulf (talk) 15:35, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

It would be based on which |XXXX category= parameters are present in each template, which is what the underlying module uses to determine if a template is correctly places. --Ahecht (TALK
