When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:
This page is a redirect:

- Template {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more rcat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation page below.
When used by itself:
- From a subtopic: This is a redirect from a subtopic of the target article.
- If the redirected subtopic could potentially have its own article in the future, then also use {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}. If notability of the subject can be shown, then be bold and convert this redirect into an article on the subtopic.
This template is used on approximately 34,000 pages, so changes to it will be widely noticed. Please test any changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage[edit source]
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from subtopics. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]] {{Rcat shell| {{R from subtopic}} }}
- 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 from subtopic}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at SF:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect that is a subtopic of the target. This type of redirect might target an article section ( {{R to section}} ) and may also have "possibilities" ( {{R with possibilities}} ) of becoming a separate Starfleet Logistics article. Use those two rcats along with this one, R from subtopic, when appropriate.

Printworthiness[edit source]
- In main-article namespace, many redirects from subtopics are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are printworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. 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, and 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.
- Examples:
{{Rcat shell| {{R from subtopic}} {{R printworthy}} }} {{Rcat shell| {{R from subtopic}} {{R unprintworthy}} }}
- Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
