Usage[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from alternative names. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
When using {{Rcat shell}}[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
#REDIRECT [[Target page name]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
}}
- Template {{Rcat shell}} is an alias for the template {{Redirect category shell}}, which may be used to add to a redirect page as many appropriate rcats as needed (usually from one to seven) along with their parameters in a demarcated place. For more information, see the documentation on Rcat shell's template page.
When rcats are used individually[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
#REDIRECT [[Target page name]]
{{R from alternative name}}
- This accords with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat on all redirects from a title that is another name such as a pseudonym, a nickname, or a synonym of the target page name.
Optional parameters[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
Either the |of= or the |1= parameter can be used to specify the more common name. This is useful when redirecting from an obscure term to a more common one that is a subsection or anchor in a broader article that itself is not the other name of what is being redirected. For example Primary research redirects to Research#Forms of research, where this subtopic is treated under the term "original research"; the redirect has {{R from alternative name|of=original research}}, which adds the following to the first sentence: "(in this case, the more common name is: original research)". Three ways to accomplish this are as follows:
{{R from alternative name|of=(alternative name)}}{{R from alternative name|1=(alternative name)}}{{R from alternative name|(alternative name)}}
Aliases[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
- {{R to alternative name}} redirects here and reflects that "alternative" goes both ways.

Printworthiness[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia.
- In the main (article) namespace, many other-name redirects are considered printworthy. However, there are also many that are not 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. 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; for example:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut templates may be used.
