This is a documentation subpage for Template:R template index.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

As with all navbox templates, if you edit the contents of the nest box template itself, please do not use aliases Use a direct link to the title, in either plain or piped format.

If the title of the target page of the redirect page, that is, the title of the non-redirect subject page is used in the navbox, then the title will appear not as a link, but as a bold, unclickable entry that's easy to find when the navbox is placed on that entry's page.

However, a redirect listed in the same navbox on the same page will not appear in unclickable bold text but as a link, which could send an editor on a confusing runaround if they click the template to quickly find rcats or, much more rarely, redcats to add near the bottom of a redirect page that you are creating or editing. The rcats are organized by function. For information on placing these rcats on redirects

For an expanded index (not a navbox) with examples and listing of redirect category templates, see . The links on this page's navbox template lead either to sections on that expanded index page or less often to other explanatory pages associated

{{Section link}}: required section parameter(s) missing</includeonly>

-===Purpose of this navbox template===
-{{Linking and page manipulation|categorization}}
-You can use this [[Wikipedia:Navboxes|navbox (navigation box)]] template to quickly find the [[WP:RCAT|redirect category templates]] (rcats or, much more rarely, redcats) to add near the bottom of a redirect page that you are creating or editing. The rcats are organized by function. For information on placing these rcats on redirects (redirect pages; a Wikipedia page that sends the browser to a different article, [[Wikipedia:Project namespace|project page]], or other type of English Wikipedia page), see the rcat's own documentation page or  [[WP:REDCAT]].
-For an expanded index (not a navbox) with examples and a complete [[Alphanumeric|alphanumerical]] listing of redirect category templates, see [[Wikipedia:Template index/Redirect pages]]. The links on this page's navbox template lead either to sections on that expanded index page or less often to other explanatory pages associated with rcats.
-=== Usage ===
-This navbox belongs at the bottom of template documentation pages (above the categories). Add either {{tlc|R template index}} or its shortcut, {{tlc|Rcats}}, in the following manner:
-<pre>
-{{R template index}}
-</pre>
-=== Visibility parameter <code>|state=</code> and its options===
-{{Collapsible option|default=collapsed}}
-=== See also ===
-* {{section link|Wikipedia:Template index/Redirect pages#List of redirects by function}}, a functional index that is composed of each and every rcat (Redirect CATegory) template in this navbox.
-{{center|''{{maroon|'''Note:''' Additions made to the above functional index must '''also''' be added to this navbox, and vice versa.}}''}}
