Purpose
This redirect category ( rcat) template is used to categorize redirects from a fictional element to a related article to a list of elements, a type of article that is a collection of brief descriptions and covers the subject more comprehensively. This could be a formal List article, or an article with a formal bulleted list of elements, or an article to which the element is related and lists other elements informally. Links to elements should use this redirect and should not be piped with the target page name. This allows "what links here" to be used to identify the links to the individual sections. This redirect template populates Category:All fictional element redirects and when the first parameter is not used, Category:Redirects from fictional elements is also populated.
Usage
Use this template on any mainspace redirect from a fictional element to a related fictional article or to a list in which the element is an entry, either as a section or as non-section entries. If the redirect is to a section also use {{ R to section}}; if it is to an anchor (other than a "section anchor") use {{ R to anchor}}.
General usage
Add this redirect category to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional element}}
}}
Template {{ Redirect category shell}} may be used to add as many appropriate redirect categories as needed. For more information see the documentation on its template documentation.
This redirect category may also tag a redirect individually:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{R from fictional element}}
This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
Usage with creative work parameter
An optional unnamed parameter, |1=(name of work), may be used to supply the name of the creative work that includes the element. This will sort the redirect into a more specific category for that work. For example:
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional element|1=Doctor Who}}
}}
or
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional element|Doctor Who}}
}}
or
{{R from fictional element|Doctor Who}}
All three of the above will populate Category:Doctor Who element redirects to lists.
Usage with sort key parameter
A second optional unnamed parameter, |2=(sort key) may be used to provide a
sort key for the fictional element that is redirected. For example:
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional element|1=Star Trek|2=Enterprise (NCC-1701-C), USS}}
}}
or
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional element|Star Trek|Enterprise (NCC-1701-C), USS}}
}}
or
{{R from fictional element|Star Trek|Enterprise (NCC-1701-C), USS}}
In Category:Star Trek element redirects to lists, all three of the above sort the element redirect, USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C)", in alphabetical order by "Enterprise" ("E") instead of by "USS" ("U"). Without the second parameter, the template sort key is either the redirect page name or the DEFAULTSORT, if included.
TemplateData
TemplateData for R from fictional element
A redirect category template which is used to categorize redirects from a fictional element to a related article to a list of elements.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Series name | 1 | The series article name. | Page name | required |
| Sort key | 2 | A sort key for the redirect entry. | String | optional |
Corresponding category
Important note: the very first time that a creative-work-specific subcategory is named in the first parameter, that category will appear as a red link ( Category:Tiddlywinks element redirects to lists) at the bottom of the redirect page (if this is not seen or no categories can be seen at the bottom of the page, then be sure your preferences are set to see hidden categories). If the category link is red, it means that the category must be created to correctly sort the fictional element.
The category name should be similar to creative work article. So if the article uses disambiguation, the category should use it as well.
[[Category:(series name) element redirects to lists]]
When creating the new category, place {{ Fiction-based redirects to list entries category handler}} at the top as follows:
{{Fiction-based redirects to list entries category handler|media=}}
|media= should be the type of media the fictional work is. For example: |media=Television, |media=Film. If in doubt, check
Category:Redirects from fictional elements and see what categories are available.
Printworthiness
 | 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 main-article namespace, some redirects are considered unprintworthy and others 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 redirect category templates automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others like this template, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those redirect categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The templates that are used separately to populate those categories are:
{{ R printworthy}}{{ R unprintworthy}}

Usage with printworthy and unprintworthy templates
