Template:R from ambiguous sort name/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Usage

[edit]
  • Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from ambiguous sort name|1=(sortkey)|2=(sortkey)}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
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 page name)]]

{{R from ambiguous sort name|1=(sortkey)|2=(sortkey)}}
This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
  • Use this rcat on any redirect from an ambiguous sort name to a disambiguation page. These redirects are pointed to by links that should always be disambiguated. Therefore, this template should never appear on any page that has "(disambiguation)" in its title unless the target page also has "(disambiguation)" in its title. For those redirects use {{R to disambiguation page}} instead.

Parameters

[edit]
  • As shown above, two category sortkeys should be added whenever this rcat tags a redirect. The first parameter's sortkey is the first letter of the redirect title. For example, on the redirect Johnson, Frank the first sortkey is "J" (sortkeys are always in uppercase capital letters, please). The second parameter's sortkey is the first letter of the target article, in this case Frank Johnson, so the second sortkey is "F". Please remember to include these sortkeys. This example would appear as follows:
Johnson, Frank (page title of redirect)
#REDIRECT [[Frank Johnson]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from ambiguous sort name|J|F}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
