Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from relatives. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]] 

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from relative}}
}}

Use DEFAULTSORT to ensure that redirects are correctly sorted in their categories.

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 relative}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a family member who is a close relative of the subject of the target article, for example:
  • Regina WenderBobby Fischer
• Only use this rcat if the family member is closely related to the person. If the redirect is from the name of the subject's husband or wife, then use {{R from spouse}} instead.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many redirects from relatives are unprintworthy; however, there are others that are 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, and 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 and any other rcats:

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from relative}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from relative}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
