Template:R to list entry/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to list entries. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)#(target list entry section/anchor)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to list entry}}
}}

Either {{R to section}} or {{R to anchor}} may also be used when appropriate.

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)#(target list entry section/anchor)]]

{{R to list entry}}

Again, either {{R to section}} or {{R to anchor}} may also be used.

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

• Use this rcat on any mainspace redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry.
• Use if there is no separate article on the subject, and the subject is included in a list, either:
  • in an article entitled "List of …", or
  • a section of an article either:
    • titled a list; or
    • containing entries that are not themselves sections. Also, use {{R to anchor}} where appropriate.
• For a redirect to an article section about the subject use the {{R to section}} rcat instead.
• For a redirect from a topic to a related list and not to an entry on that list, use {{R from list topic}} instead. For example:

Birds of TunisiaList of birds of Tunisia.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many list-entry redirects are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that might become articles and 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 Category:Printworthy redirects or 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 to list entry}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to list entry}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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