Discussion of miscapitalization

See relevant discussion of intents and purposes of categorization tags at Template talk:R from miscapitalisation#Template intent. Dicklyon (talk) 09:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

R from literal translation

Example: All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography named after S.A.Gerasimov (correct full name in English: S. A. Gerasimov All-Russian University of Cinematography). What is the rcat for this redirect? What is the printworthiness in your opinion, in this example? —Alalch E. 12:48, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Alalch E., I've never used it myself (I only found it when looking at Category:Redirects from alternative names just now), but would {{R from alternative translation}} be a good fit here? I'm not the most familiar with printworthiness, so I don't feel qualified enough to give an answer on that front. Apologies for the belated response.

R from organization department or division

What is the appropriate redirect categorization to use when redirecting from an organizational department or division to the parent organization? Especially for government bureaucracies? GobsPint (talk) 00:57, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

GobsPint, does {{R from subsidiary}} match what you're looking for? All the best, ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 18:06, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

That's perfect. I must've overlooked that keyword. GobsPint (talk) 18:22, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

I've added it to the {{Rcat functional index}} navbox. GobsPint (talk) 18:26, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

R from notable event, meeting, summit, or conference?

What is the appropriate redirect categorization from a notable event, meeting, summit, or conference? Closest I found is {{R from subtopic}}? Several scientific organizations got their start at notable conferences/meetings. GobsPint (talk) 21:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

note

per an rfd, a new rcat should be created and the old title at Template:R from subtitle be recreated as having a new deprecation notice as explained there. Should it be called Template:R from subtitle alone or another? Toadette^Edit! 22:32, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I missed this note - but for reference for anyone reading this in the future, I created a new rcat-redirect from {{R from subtitle alone}}, and created a template-dab page at {{R from subtitle}} to distinguish between that and {{Template:R from title and subtitle}}.

Redirect from an examination, test, or certification?

When creating redirects for notable certifications to the certification body, is {{R from subtopic}} the preferred option? GobsPint (talk) 04:33, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Categorize templates based on namespace(s)

Moved from Template talk:Redirect template § Categorize templates based on namespace(s)

I'm developing a tool that, among other things, places RCat templates on pages. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to determine which templates can be used in which namespaces. Would anyone be opposed if I used a script that ran through all the templates and assigned them to Category:All namespace redirect templates, Category:Main namespace redirect templates, Category:Help namespace redirect templates, Category:Portal namespace redirect templates, Category:Talk namespace redirect templates, Category:Template namespace redirect templates, Category:Wikipedia namespace redirect templates, Category:Category namespace redirect templates, Category:User namespace redirect templates, and/or Category:Other namespace redirect templates? --Ahecht (TALK

I don't see any issues with categorising the templates like that, although I'm not sure that applying the templates to is something that can be reliably automated? Thryduulf (talk) 15:35, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

It would be based on which |XXXX category= parameters are present in each template, which is what the underlying module uses to determine if a template is correctly places. --Ahecht (TALK
