Template:R from more specific name/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from more specific names. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from more specific 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 page name)]]

{{R from more specific name}}

This is in accord with instructions found at WV:REDCAT.

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a title that is a more specific, less general page name.

When to use a different rcat template

• If the redirect is simply a longer version of the same name, use {{R from long name}} instead.
• If the redirect is a completely different name for the same topic, use {{R from alternative name}} instead.
• If the redirect names a subtopic treated in detail at the target article, use {{R from subtopic}} instead (and {{R to section}} if appropriate).
• For redirects that are incorrect names for the target, use {{R from incorrect name}}.
