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:
- To a portal page: This is a redirect from any page inside or outside of portal namespace to a page in that namespace. The above category link leads to a list of redirects from inside portal space. For a list of redirects from outside portal space, see Category:Redirects to portal namespace.
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
Purpose
[edit]This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into one of two categories:
- Category:Redirects to portal namespace – for PNRs and CNRs, or
- Category:Redirects to portals – for portal redirects to other portal pages
This rcat also populates the following:
- Category:Unprintworthy redirects – redirects from the main-article namespace (mainspace)
- In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Mainspace redirects that target pages in the portal namespace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.
 | 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. |
Usage
[edit]- Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[Portal:(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to portal namespace}}
}}
- and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:
#REDIRECT [[Portal:(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to portal namespace}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- 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 [[Portal:(target page name)]]
{{R to portal namespace}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace (including the portal namespace) that targets a page in the portal namespace. This rcat will automatically sort redirects as either inside or outside the portal namespace.
