Usage
[edit]- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from birth names. Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from birth 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:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{R from birth name}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag all mainspace redirects from a title that is a person's name received at birth. If the redirect is a personal name that differs from the person's birth name, then use {{R from personal name}} instead. To ensure that the redirect is correctly sorted to its categories, be familiar with the helpful information found at Wikipedia:SORTKEY.

Printworthiness
[edit] | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of any rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia. |
- In main-article namespace, many redirects from birth names are considered printworthy; however, there are many others that are unprintworthy, 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 Wikipedia 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 and any other rcats:
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from birth name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from birth name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
