This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from alternative names. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell}}
#REDIRECT [[Target page name]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
}}
#REDIRECT [[Target page name]]
{{R from alternative name}}
Either the |of=
or the |1=
parameter can be used to specify the more common name. This is useful when redirecting from an obscure term to a more common one that is a subsection or anchor in a broader article that itself is not the other name of what is being redirected. For example Primary research redirects to Research#Forms of research, where this subtopic is treated under the term "original research"; the redirect has {{R from alternative name|of=original research}}
, which adds the following to the first sentence: "(in this case, the more common name is: original research)". Three ways to accomplish this are as follows:
{{R from alternative name|of=(alternative name)}}
{{R from alternative name|1=(alternative name)}}
{{R from alternative name|(alternative name)}}
