Template:R to userbox/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template on template namespace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to userbox templates by default. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a template talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

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

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to userbox}}
}}

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 userbox}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any template namespace redirect from a template shortcut, or a redirect that resulted from a page move/rename or merge, to a userbox template.
• Template talk page redirects are in a talk namespace, not in the template namespace. This rcat should not be used to tag redirects in any talk namespace.

Printworthiness

• This rcat should only be used in template namespace. The following is provided for information purposes only and does not specifically apply to this rcat. In main-article namespace, some redirects are considered printworthy; however, there are other redirects that are unprintworthy, and some rcats have 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 do not, and when that happens 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 alternative name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
