Usage

• This redirect category ( rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from filenames and Category:Unprintworthy redirects 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. Redirects from filenames 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 (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from filename}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{R from filename}}

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

• Use this rcat on all mainspace redirects from titles that are filenames of the targets, e.g.:
  • Notepad.exe Microsoft Notepad.
  • WINWORD.EXE Microsoft Word
