Usage

edit

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from HTML entities and Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Mainspace redirects from HTML entities are not usually suitable for a printed version. In other words such redirects are generally unprintworthy. See below for how to tag those few redirects that are printworthy.

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 article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from HTML entity}}
{{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 article title)]]

{{R from HTML entity}}
{{R unprintworthy}}

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

Use this rcat to tag any redirect in mainspace from an HTML entity to a page about the text that the HTML entity code returns.

Printability

edit

|printworthy=yes – By default, this template tags and categorizes redirects as unprintworthy. Use the printworthy parameter to subdue this behavior and populate Category:Printworthy redirects in the following manner:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from HTML entity|printworthy=yes}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{R from HTML entity|printworthy=yes}}
{{R printworthy}}
