Template:R to main namespace/doc

Purpose

This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into one category:

• Category:Redirects to the main namespace – for cross-namespace redirects

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace except main-resource namespace (mainspace).

• Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target resource title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to main namespace}}
}}

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 resource title)]]

{{R to main namespace}}

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

• Use this rcat on all redirects from outside the main namespace to a resource title in mainspace. This rcat should never be used to tag any redirect that is in mainspace.
