When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:
This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this 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 variant military designation: This is a redirect from a variant military designation to the parent type of an aircraft, vehicle, or other item.
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Purpose
[edit]This tag should be used in cases where an aircraft, vehicle, or other item is best known by (and the target page titled by) a military designation, but has subtypes that use different designations that are covered in the parent type's article. For instance, the Republic RF-84F Thunderflash was a subtype of the Republic F-84F Thunderstreak, and is covered in the latter's article. This tag would be placed on the redirects of all subtype military designations by which the targeted parent type is or was known.
In cases where an aircraft, vehicle or other item is best known by (and titled by) a military designation, but is also known by other military designations, use {{R from alternative military designation}} on those redirects. For types that are best known by (and titled by) their civilian/company designations, use {{R from military designation}}.
Usage
[edit]- This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from variant military designations and Category:Printworthy redirects by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Redirects from variant military designations, as defined in the Purpose section above, are suitable for a printed version. In other words they are printworthy.
 | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this 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. |
- Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from variant military designation}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
- 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 variant military designation}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a variant military designation to the parent type of an aircraft, vehicle, or other item that is best known by the parent military designation.
