- 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 an eponym: This is a redirect from an eponym to its related article title.
![]() | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from eponyms. Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from eponym}}
}}
- 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 eponym}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat on all mainspace redirects from eponyms to their related forms. Do not use this template for initialisms; use {{R from initialism}} instead. Also, if the redirect is from the initials of a personal name, then use {{R from short name}} instead of this template. An example of an eponym redirect is:

Printworthiness
![]() | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia. |
- In main-article namespace, many eponym redirects to their related forms are printworthy; however, there are others that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used separately to populate those categories are:
{{R printworthy}}
and{{R unprintworthy}}
- Please click on each one for more details and guidance.
- Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.
- Examples:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from eponym}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from eponym}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
