Redirect

This page is within the scope of WikiProject Redirect, a collaborative effort to improve the standard of redirects and their categorization on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.
Note: This banner should be placed on the talk pages of project, template and category pages that exist and operate to maintain redirects.
This banner is not designed to be placed on the talk pages of most redirects and almost never on the talk pages of mainspace redirects. For more information see the template documentation.RedirectWikipedia:WikiProject RedirectTemplate:WikiProject Redirectredirect pages

Template:R from ATC code is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.

Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. This template does not have a testcases subpage. You can create the testcases subpage here.

Cat parameter

It should be noted that this Rcat uses the {{Redirect template}} template, which seems to have some restrictions to its usage that may impact this template. For example, I tried to use that template's "printworthy=no" parameter to automatically add the Rcat to the Templates for unprintworthy redirects category. That didn't work, so I reverted my edits and made an adjustment to the {{Redirect template/doc}} page. The bottom line is that I cannot tell if the unnamed parameter is actually working properly to sort these redirects correctly in Category:Redirects from ATC codes, since the redirects are actually titled with the same code as in the unnamed parameter. This leads to the question as to why the unnamed parameter is even required, but I will leave that to another day. If another editor finds that inclusion of the unnamed parameter inside the {{Redirect template}} templates breaks something, then feel free to eliminate it, as it doesn't seem to actually do anything important. I could be wrong about that, though. – PIE ( CLIMAX ) 06:57, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just to note it, the unnamed sort parameter is necessary in order to be able to use the category TOC on these alpha-numeric codes; otherwise these redirects would all be listed under letter "A" (for "ATC code Xnnn") and not under their actual, sorted codes. Same goes for {{R from ATCvet code}}. So far, there does not appear to be any problem with the #if: parser within template {{Redirect template}}. – Paine 11:12, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
