Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to names with title 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. Most names with titles are not needed in a printed version unless they make plausible search terms. In other words they are usually unprintworthy. See below for the few such redirects that are printworthy.

• Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to name with title}}
{{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 to name with title}}

This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.

• Typical use is where [[Firstname Surname]] is a redirect to [[Firstname Surname (Title)]].
• By default, this template places redirects in the Unprintworthy redirects category. To tag and categorize a redirect as printworthy use the unnamed parameter in the following manner:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to name with title|1=printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

or the 1= may be omitted:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to name with title|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

and if applied individually:

{{R to name with title|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}

That will subdue the Unprintworthy redirects category and place the redirect in Category:Printworthy redirects.
