Template:R from move

This rcat template is automatically added to all new redirects that result from page moves; it must be added manually to older redirects when appropriate.

When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:

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 page move: This is a redirect from a page that has been moved (renamed). This page was kept as a redirect to avoid breaking links, both internal and external, that may have been made to the old page name.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from moves, which is used to track all page moves that, if a redirect had not been left behind, would result in the breakage of links, both internal wikilinks and external internet website links. See WV:LINKROT.
• For all redirects that have a page move logged on their history page(s), add this rcat in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
 
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from move}}
}}

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 move}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace that has a page move (rename) logged in their page history (this should be checked at least three pages back into the page history, a check which takes just a few seconds). This tagging has become automated; however, there are still many older redirects from moves that need to be manually tagged by this rcat.

Error detection and correction

Whenever page moves result in the inadvertent talk page redirect that targets a different page than the talk page of the subject-page redirect's target, then the talk page and the subject page will not be synchronized, and this template will also populate:

• Category:Unsynchronized talk page redirects

Moved pages that are exceptions, for example, pages and subpages that redirect to talk pages to centralize discussions, can be added to the {{R from move/except}} page.
