Modèle:R from shortcut/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• 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. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Aliases/shortcuts in mainspace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words, they are unprintworthy.

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.

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

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from shortcut}}
}}

Template {{Rcat shell}} is an alias for the {{Redirect category shell}} template, which may be used to add to a redirect as many appropriate rcats as needed, usually from one to seven, along with their parameters. For more information see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R from shortcut}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect that acts as a shortcut: an abbreviated link to an administrative page. See Wikipedia:Shortcut for more details.

The parameter |of= or |for= can be used to specify the referent of the shortcut (e.g. to explain an acronym, since we do not use {{R from abbreviation}} except in mainspace). For example, the shortcut WP:AEIS uses |for="analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis".
