Template:R from subtopic/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from subtopics. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner, in accord with instructions found at WV:REDCAT:

#REDIRECT [[Target article title]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subtopic}}
}}

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 subtopic}}

Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect that is a subtopic of the target, if a more specific rcat template (i.e., a more specific subcategory of Category:Redirects from subtopics) is not available. This type of redirect might target an article section ({{R to section}}) and may also have "possibilities" ({{R with possibilities}}) of becoming a separate Wikipedia article. Use those two rcats along with this one, {{R from subtopic}}, when appropriate.

To go to a subsection (for this redirect in particular or at least including coverage of it somewhere within):

#REDIRECT [[Target article title#Section name]]

{{R from subtopic}}
{{R to section}}
