 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage edit
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from telephone numbers 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. Since this encyclopedia is not a phonebook, most redirects from telephone numbers are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy. See below for what to do for the few redirects from telephone numbers 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 (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from telephone number}}
{{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 telephone number}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag all mainspace redirects from titles that are telephone numbers that target related articles, such as the company that can be reached at that number. An example is:
