Template:R template index/doc

Changes made to this navbar must also be made to the functional index, and vice versa.

Purpose

This template navbox furnishes editors with a practical tool to quickly find the redirect category templates (rcats) that are used most often. This index template organises the templates by function. The procedure to use for placing these rcats on redirects will be found on each rcat's individual documentation page and at WP:REDCAT.

For an expanded index with examples and complete alphanumerical listing of redirect category templates, see Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages. Most of the links in the navbox go to sections on that page. A few of the links go to other explanatory pages that are associated with rcats.

As usual, please refrain from using aliases (redirects) in this navbar. In any navbar, redirects are not your friends. If the non-redirect subject page is linked, then it will appear not as a link, but as a bold, easy to find entry when the navbar is placed on that entry's page. Redirects in navbars will not appear in bold text on the entries' pages.

Usage

Either {{R template index}} or its shortcut, {{Rcats}}, may be used. Add this navbox to the bottom of a template documentation page (above the categories) in the following manner:

{{R template index}}

Additions made to the functional index must also be added to this navbar, and vice versa.

Note to editors on how to manage collapsibility:

• Use {{R template index|state=collapsed}} to show this template in its collapsed (hidden) state.
• Use {{R template index|state=expanded}} to show this template in its expanded (fully visible) state.
• Use {{R template index|state=autocollapse}} to show this template in its collapsed (hidden) state only if there is another template of the same type on the page. (This is usually the default.)
