- Template {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more rcat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information, see the documentation page below.
When used by itself:
- To a technical name: This is a redirect from a common term to a more technical name.
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to technical names. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to technical name}}
}}
- 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 to technical name}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag all redirects from non-technical, common names to more technical names. If the redirect targets a scientific name, such as Herto Man
Homo sapiens idaltu, then use {{R to scientific name}} instead.

Printworthiness
 | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of any 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. |
- Unlike its complementary rcat, {{R from technical name}}, this rcat does not automatically categorize redirects for this quality. In main-article namespace, many redirects from non-technical or common names to technical names are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many 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 to technical name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R to technical name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
