Template:R from related word

• This is a redirect from a word (or phrase) to a page title that is related in some way. This redirect might be a good candidate for a Wiktionary link.
  • Redirects from related words are not properly redirects from alternative spellings of the same word, but at the same time they are also different than redirects from a subtopic, since the related word is unlikely to warrant a full subtopic in the target page. For more information, see the category.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• Use this redirect category (rcat) template on redirects to a target article that is a related word or words.
• Add this rcat to the redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R from related word}}

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

• Template {{This is a redirect}} may also be used to add this and up to seven appropriate rcats to a redirect.
• This rcat automatically populates Category:Redirects from related words.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many redirects from words related to target titles 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.
