Template:R from template shortcut/doc

Usage

 * This redirect category (rcat) template populates and, when the shortcut is in the main-article namespace (mainspace), the  category is also populated by default.  In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of  Wikipedia articles in .  Template-shortcut redirects from mainspace are not suitable for a printed version.  In other words they are unprintworthy.


 * Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
 * 1) REDIRECT Template:(target page name)


 * and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:


 * 1) REDIRECT Template:(target page name)


 * 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:


 * 1) REDIRECT Template:(target page name)


 * This is in accord with instructions found at REDCAT.


 * Use this rcat to tag any redirect that is a shortcut to a template, which usually has a longer pagename. The redirect itself does not necessarily have to be a template, e.g.,  [[T:S]], which is a template shortcut that is actually in mainspace.  Such shortcuts are known as pseudo-namespace redirects.
 * Note: Pseudo-namespace template shortcuts such as T:S above may be transcluded by use of a leading colon:
 * , which results in:
 * If the leading colon is not included, then the result is a red link:
 * This text has been "struck through".
 * These are also useful as shortcuts to the template page itself:
 * T:S, which results in:
 * T:S (Redirect arrow without text.svgate:Strikethrough)
 * T:S (Redirect arrow without text.svgate:Strikethrough)


 * It is important to note that it is the target that determines the difference between a template shortcut and any other shortcut. If the shortcut redirect is in any namespace and the target is a template, then the redirect is a "template shortcut".  Shortcut redirects that target template pages should always be tagged with  and should never be tagged with, which is meant only for shortcuts that do not target templates.
 * Important also is the fact that template talk pages are in the talk namespace and are not in template space; if the shortcut redirect targets a talk page of any subject namespace, then use instead.
