Usage[edit source]
This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from alternative names. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
When using {{Rcat shell}}
[edit source]
#REDIRECT [[Target page name]] {{Rcat shell| {{R from alternative name}} }}
- Template {{Rcat shell}} is an alias for the template {{Redirect category shell}}, which may be used to add to a redirect page as many appropriate rcats as needed (usually from one to seven) along with their parameters in a demarcated place. For more information, see the documentation on Rcat shell's template page.
When rcats are used individually[edit source]
#REDIRECT [[Target page name]] {{R from alternative name}}
- This accords with instructions found at Starfleet:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat on all redirects from a title that is another name such as a pseudonym, a nickname, or a synonym of the target page name.
Aliases[edit source]

Print worthiness[edit source]
- In main-article namespace, many other-name redirects are considered print worthy. However, there are also many that are not print worthy, so there is no default sort for print worthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Starfleet Logistics articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, do not. That means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used separately to populate those categories are:
{{R printworthy}}
and{{R unprintworthy}}
please click on each one for more details and guidance.- Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other; for example:
{{Rcat shell| {{R from alternative name}} {{R printworthy}} }} {{Rcat shell| {{R from alternative name}} {{R unprintworthy}} }}
- Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut templates may be used.
This template takes no parameters.
See {{R from}} for an example that does.
