Template:R to template namespace/doc

Purpose

This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into the following categories:

1. Category:Redirects to template namespace – for PNRs and CNRs

This rcat should not be used to tag redirects that are inside the template namespace. If placed on a redirect that is a template page, this rcat will not populate the expected category(ies). The redirect will instead be sorted to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace except template namespace.

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

#REDIRECT [[Template:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to template 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 [[Template:(target page name)]]

{{R to template namespace}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a page outside of the template namespace that targets a page inside the template namespace.

This rcat should never be used on a redirect page that is in the template namespace.

Aliases
