Shortcuts

Usage

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from writers by default. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from writer}}
}}

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 writer}}

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

Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from the name of a writer (or writers), which covers a broad spectrum that includes (but is not limited to) journalists, novelists, lyricists, and poets, to a related topic usually about one of the writer's works.

Printworthiness

In main-article namespace, some redirects from writers are printworthy; however, there are others that are unprintworthy, 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 from writer}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

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

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