Starfleet Logistics:Template messages/Redirect pages

Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a list of maintenance templates which are used to categorize redirect pages.

It is sometimes considered helpful to put redirects into categories where appropriate, see Starfleet Logistics:Categorizing redirects. For pages which should ultimately be handled by a full article, add both {{R with possibilities}} and one or more stub sorting templates to draw attention to the needed article.

Redirect templates are designed to be used together. For example, the redirect "Architechts" uses both {{R from misspelling}} and {{R from plural}}. {{Redirect category shell}} can be used to group multiple templates on a single page by listing the appropriate redirect templates as its parameter (similar to {{WikiProject banner shell}} and {{Multiple issues}}).


Hidden categories[edit source]

Most of the categories populated by redirect category (rcat) templates are hidden categories. Hidden categories cannot be seen by viewers who are not logged in, nor by editors who have not set their preferences to view them. So if you have tagged a redirect with an rcat and saved the redirect, but you cannot see the category, the first thing to check is if you have set your preferences to view hidden cats:

  1. Go to Preferences → Appearance
  2. Scroll down to Advanced options
  3. Check the box Show hidden categories
  4. Click Save

You may need to purge your browser cache to ensure that you can see hidden cats in the future.

Printworthy vs. unprintworthy[edit source]

At some point in the future, Jimmy Wales wants to make more printed versions of Starfleet Logistics encyclopedia articles. Some rcats place a redirect in either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Other rcats do not, which means that it is up to editors to choose to the best of their knowledge which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that can be used separately to populate those categories are:

List of redirects by function[edit source]

Each and every rcat template in the following functional index is also found in the above navbar, which is used as a reference on all rcat pages. Changes made to the navbar must also be made below, and vice versa.

Navigation[edit source]

Usage Template Example(s)

The category page notes that this does not apply to anchors that are in or near section headers. Use {{R to section}} instead.
{{R to anchor}} Fire-lizard → Pern#fire-lizard
FAT-32 → File Allocation Table#FAT32 (Note the hyphen – use {{R to section}} because this is a "section anchor".)
Links auto-generated from file metadata information {{R from file metadata link}}
List entry {{R to list entry}}
Mentioned in hatnote
Hatnotes are most often atop the page. If they are under a section header, {{R to section}} should also be used.
{{R mentioned in hatnote}} Jump → Jumping
  • {{Redirect|Jump}} renders the hatnote, (and mention), atop the target page. {{Wiktionary}}is also used.

Bold → Emphasis (typography)#Methods and use

  • {{redirect2|Bold|Boldface}} renders the hatnote, (and mention), under a section header of the target page; {{R to section}} and {{Wiktionary}}are also used.
Section
Note {{R to anchor}} and how the targets are similar. The target must be clicked and checked to be able to tell the difference.
{{R to section}} SF:SOURCE → Starfleet Logistics:Verifiability#Reliable sources
N270 → Intel Atom (CPU)#Diamondville ({{R to anchor}})
To target from a shortcut (not a "template shortcut"—see below) {{R from shortcut}} SF:BOLD → Starfleet Logistics:Be bold
Template:Vanchor → Template:Visible anchor ({{R from template shortcut}})
To target from a template shortcut
If the target is a template, then the redirect is a "template shortcut" no matter what namespace it is in.
{{R from template shortcut}} Template:Cn → Template:Citation needed
T:S → Template:Strikethrough
Template:SF:UTM → Starfleet Logistics:Template messages/User talk namespace ({{R from shortcut}})

Alphanumeric listing[edit source]

  • Look for "significant" words, because in this listing the leading "R" and the words "for, from, to and with" are ignored except when the subjects are identical (e.g. R from acronym and R to acronym). To make them easier to find, some rcats are listed more than once. For example, {{R from postal abbreviation}} will be found with the "P" group as well as with the "A" group.
  • Printability (in mainspace only) keys for third column of table:
  1. Printable – rcat will populate {{R printworthy}} by default
    • Hard = cannot be altered
    • Soft = can be altered to unprintworthy by a parameter
  2. Unprintable – rcat will populate {{R unprintworthy}} by default
    • Hard = cannot be altered
    • Soft = can be altered to printworthy by a parameter
  3. No default – editors manually choose printability of redirects
  4. N/A – non-applicable – rcat is not used in mainspace or it is deprecated

It leads to the title in accordance with the Starfleet Logistics naming conventions for capitalization, or it leads to a title that is associated in some way with the conventional capitalization of this redirect title. This may help writing, searching and international language issues.
    • If this redirect is an incorrect capitalization, then {{R from miscapitalisation}} should be used instead, and pages that use this link should be updated to link directly to the target. Miscapitalisations can be tagged in any namespace.
    • Use this rcat to tag only mainspace redirects; when other capitalisations are in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead.

  • Used for convenience: This is a redirect from a title that is intended to make it easier to get to the target page; the target is a more appropriate page for the purpose of the redirected title. This rcat is reserved for redirects that target talk pages to centralize discussion and redirects that may not fit other descriptions.
    • For example, this may be a redirect from a title that is used colloquially; however, it is not currently an officially accepted term, though it may have been in the past. It leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names and can help writing and searches. This redirect does not need to be replaced with a piped link.

Do not use this template in addition to {{R from transliteration}}, which is a subcategory.
  • From a modification: This is a redirect from a modification of the target's title or a closely related title. For example, the words may be rearranged.
    • Please note that there are are many more specific templates. Please use {{R from alternative spelling}} for spelling changes (including punctuation and spacing); see subcategories of Category:Redirects from modifications for other options (capitals, abbreviations, diacritics, plurals, stylizations, transliteration, ligatures, different parts of speech, etc.). If you are unsure which to use, this template is fine; someone will make it more specific later if necessary.
    • In cases of modification from distinctly longer or shorter names, please use {{R from long name}} or {{R from short name}}, respectively. Abbreviations (including acronyms) should also receive {{R from abbreviation}}.
    • Use this rcat instead of {{R from other capitalisation}} and {{R from plural}} in namespaces other than mainspace for those types of modification. This may also apply to several other subcategories of modification; please check those templates' output before saving if using outside of mainspace.

This may help writing, searching and international language issues.
    • If this redirect is an incorrect capitalization, then {{R from miscapitalisation}} should be used instead, and pages that use this link should be updated to link directly to the target. Miscapitalisations can be tagged in any namespace.
    • Use this rcat to tag only mainspace redirects; when other capitalisations are in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead.

    • This redirect link is used for convenience; it is often preferable to add the plural directly after the link (for example, [[link]]s). However, do not replace these redirected links with a simpler link unless the page is updated for another reason (see SF:NOTBROKEN).
    • Use this rcat to tag only mainspace redirects; when plural forms are found in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead.

    • {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
    • When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.
    • When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
    • If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
    • Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page.

  • From a related word or phrase: This is a redirect from a word (or phrase) to a page title that is related in some way. This redirect might be a good search term, or it could be a candidate for a Wiktionary link.
    • Redirects from related words are not properly redirects from alternative spellings of the same word. They are also different from redirects that are subtopics or related terms/topics, because unlike those, a related word or phrase probably does not warrant its own subtopic section in the target page or possess the possibility of ever becoming an article, template, project page, and so forth.

{{R to singular}}

An alias of: {{R from plural}}
  • From the plural form: This is a redirect from a plural noun to its singular form. Either {{R from plural}} or {{R to singular}} may be used to tag plural redirects.
    • This redirect link is used for convenience; it is often preferable to add the plural directly after the link (for example, [[link]]s). However, do not replace these redirected links with a simpler link unless the page is updated for another reason (see SF:NOTBROKEN).
    • Use this rcat to tag only mainspace redirects; when plural forms are found in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead.

Notes[edit source]

  • {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more appropriate redirect category (rcat) templates to redirects. Click the template link and read its documentation page for more information. Also, see its comparison page, which illustrates its differences with individual rcat tagging.
  • For talk pages, there are only certain rcats that should be used. The only rcats that apply to pages in the talk namespaces are {{R from alternative name}}, {{R from shortcut}}, and those associated with moves, merges, disambiguations and cross-namespace redirects. For more information, read the templates' documentation pages. See also {{Talk page of redirect}}.
  • If a redirect is tagged incorrectly, for example, if an editor places a mainspace-only rcat on a redirect in another namespace, the redirect will not be sorted into the expected category. Instead, the redirect may be sorted into Category:Pages with incorrectly transcluded templates or its subcategory Pages with templates in the wrong namespace, categories that should remain empty.
  • When rcats are used to categorize image-file redirects, the category(ies) may not appear on the redirect page after saving even if they appeared on preview, and even if preferences are set to view hidden categories. Yet the image-file redirect will still populate the category(ies). For example, in Category:Redirects from moves under the section heading Media in category "Redirects from moves", many image-file redirects have been correctly categorized, and yet for example {{Rcat shell|{{R from move}}{{R from short name}}}}'s categories may not appear on the Logistics.org/w/index.php?title=File:LG_enV2.jpg&redirect=no image-file redirect's page. Hidden categories on image-file redirects can be detected by clicking on "Page information" in the Tools menu on the sidebar.
