Template:R to category namespace
Appearance
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 outside category namespace: This is a redirect from a page outside the category namespace to a category page. This redirect page must be outside the category namespace.
- Redirects in category namespace are soft redirects, and most rcats must never be used to tag soft redirects.
- Note: If this page is in category namespace, then it will populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace instead.
This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Purpose
[edit source]This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into the following category:
- Category:Redirects to category space – for PNRs and CNRs, and
This rcat is not for use on the soft redirects that are in category namespace. If placed on a category redirect, it will not populate the expected categories; it will instead be sorted to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.
- No rcat should ever be used to tag any soft redirect.
Usage
[edit source]- Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[:Category:(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to category namespace}}
}}
- Note: A leading colon must be used as shown above ([[:Cat...) or the redirect will populate the target category.
- 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 [[:Category:(target page name)]]
{{R to category namespace}}
- Note: Again, a leading colon must be used as shown above ([[:Cat...) or the redirect will populate the target category.
- This is in accord with instructions found at WV:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a page outside of the category namespace to a category. Be careful to place a colon (:) before the word "Category" in the target as shown above. Otherwise, the redirect will actually be placed into that category, which is not to be desired.
- This rcat should never be used on a redirect that is in the category namespace that targets any other page.
