Template:R from Unicode code

When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:

Template {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more rcat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation page below.

When used by itself:

• From a Unicode code point: This is a redirect from a Unicode code point to an article about the character it represents. For redirects from Unicode characters, use {{R from Unicode character}} instead.

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

If this rcat is added to a redirect that is in any namespace other than mainspace, an error box will appear on the redirect, and the redirect will be sorted to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from Unicode codes 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. Redirects from Unicode symbols are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.

 Info:

• Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

1. REDIRECT (target article title or page name)

</syntaxhighlight>

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:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

1. REDIRECT (target article title or page name)

• From a Unicode code point: This is a redirect from a Unicode code point to an article about the character it represents. For redirects from Unicode characters, use {{R from Unicode character}} instead.

Template:Incorrect redirect template

</syntaxhighlight>

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

• Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a Unicode code point to an article about the character it represents. An example would be u+006C, which is the Unicode code for the letter "L".
