This is a documentation subpage for Template:R from move. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
Use this rcat template in any namespace.
- This redirect category (rcat) template is used to tag any redirect page in any namespace that results when a page is moved/renamed. This rcat populates Category:Redirects from moves, which is used to track all moves that might result in the breakage of links, both internal and external, if a redirect is not installed properly.
- This rcat automatically tags redirects that are the result of page moves. For any redirect found that was left behind from a page move and has not been auto-tagged, add this rcat in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]] {{R from move}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Template {{This is a redirect}} may also be used to add this and up to seven appropriate rcats to a redirect.

Printworthiness
- In main-article namespace, many redirects from moved pages are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are thought to be printworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. At some point in the future, Jimmy Wales wants to make more printed versions of Wikipedia encyclopedia articles. 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 {{This is a redirect}} will accept these rcats just like any other.
- Examples:
{{Redr|from surname|from alternative name|printworthy}} and {{Redr|from move|from modification|from short name|unprintworthy}}
- Either {{This is a redirect}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Redr}}, may be used.
