Usage
[edit]- This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from titles without diacritics and Category:Unprintworthy redirects. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Redirect titles without diacritical marks are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.
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. |
- Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to diacritic}}
}}
- and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to diacritic}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- 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 to diacritic}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace with no diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, etc.) to essentially the same page name that does have diacritical marks.
- This rcat template must not be used to tag redirects to a title with differences that are 1: ligatures (like æ and Œ – use {{R to ligature}} instead), or 2: other non-ASCII characters that do not include diacritics (like Greek letters – use {{R from ASCII-only}} instead).
