When used with the "This is a redirect" (Redr) template:
- Template {{This is a redirect}} may be used to add up to seven rcat templates, along with their parameters, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation page below.
When used by itself:
- This is a redirect from a page outside any and all of the talk namespaces to a talk page. This redirect page must be outside the talk namespaces. For more information follow the bold category link.
- Note: If this redirect is in any talk namespace, then it will populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace instead.
Purpose
This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into the following categories:
- Category:Redirects to talk pages – for cross-namespace redirects, and
- Category:Unprintworthy redirects – only redirects from the main-article namespace (mainspace)
-
- At some point in the future, Jimmy Wales wants to make more printed versions of Wikipedia encyclopedia articles. Mainspace redirects that target pages in the talk namespace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.
This rcat is should not be used to tag redirects that are in any talk namespace. If placed on a talk-page redirect, it will not populate the expected category(ies); the redirect will instead be sorted to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.
Usage
- Apply this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(full target talk page name)]] {{Redr|to talk page}}
- Template {{Redr}} is an alias for the This is a redirect template, which may be used to add up to seven appropriate rcats, along with their parameters, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation on its template page and its comparison page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:
#REDIRECT [[(full target talk page name)]] {{R to talk page}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a page outside of the talk namespaces to any page in any of the talk namespaces. This rcat should never be used on a redirect that is in any talk namespace that targets any other page. Examples of talk pages are:
