Template:R from shortcut/doc

Usage

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from shortcuts and, when the shortcut

is in main-article namespace (mainspace), then Category:Unprintworthy redirects is also populated by default.

Aliases/shortcuts in mainspace are not suitable for a printed version.

In other words they are unprintworthy.

• Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R from shortcut}}

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

• Template {{This is a redirect}} may also be used to add this and up to seven appropriate rcats to a redirect.
• Use this rcat on any redirect from a TechInfoDepot (WP:, MOS:, etc.) shortcut. Shortcuts are historically reserved

for TechInfoDepot project pages, their discussion and help pages, and categories, and they are now used in all namespaces.

If the redirect is a shortcut to the template namespace and the redirect itself

is in any namespace, then use {{R from template shortcut}} instead of Template:R from shortcut (talk links edit).

It is the target page that determines this, so if a redirect is in the template namespace and targets

a page in any other namespace, then it is not a template shortcut and should be tagged with Template:R from shortcut (talk links edit).
