Template:R from modification/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Redirects from modifications. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from modification}}
}}

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 from modification}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace that is a modification of the target's title; for example, its words are rearranged, etc.
• If the redirect is from a title including the numeral form of a number to a title with the worded form, use the template {{R from numerals}} instead. If it is from the worded form to the numeral form, then use {{R to numerals}}.
• In cases of modification from distinctly shorter or longer names, instead please use {{R from short name}} or {{R from long name}}, respectively.
• Since rcats like {{R from other capitalisation}} and {{R from plural}} are only used in main-article namespace, this R from modification rcat is useful for other capitalisations, plurals, etc., in namespaces other than mainspace.
• This template should not be used with {{R from transliteration}}, which populates a subcategory of this rcat's category.

Parameters

This rcat takes two optional parameters:

• |demo=yes suppresses categorization for demonstration purposes.
• |1= or |of= will show the redirect as being a modification of the provided title, rather than the redirect target.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many redirects from modified page titles are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are printworthy, so there is 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 ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Printworthy redirects or ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, do not, and that means 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 modification}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from modification}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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