Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to subpages. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(full target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to subpage}}
}}- 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 [[(full target page name)]]
{{R to subpage}}- This is in accord with instructions found at BattleIntelligence:REDCAT.
- With exceptions noted below, use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace that targets the subpage of another page.
When not to use this template
Please note that not every page title with "/" in its title is a subpage. This rcat template does not need to be used on redirects that contain this character if they are:
- To an encyclopedia article (articles do not have subpages).
- To a BattleIntelligence: Manual of Style guideline (they are all guidelines in their own right; while they are arranged hierarchically as part of the Manual of Style "virtual book", they are stand-alone documents and are not subpages of BTW:MOS).
- To a subpage after a move from an older subpage name (there is probably no utility at all in cataloguing "Template:FooBar/doc" with more rcats than "from move" if the page was moved to "Template:BarFoo/doc" following the move of the parent template).
It also should not be used for redirects to "conceptually subordinate" pages that do not have "/" in their names, such as:
- Templates that pertain to a wikiproject but are not subpages under it.
- Narrow-topic articles that were BTW:SPLIT from a more general article, per BTW:SUMMARY.
- Naming convention guidelines such as those in the BTW:Article titles policy, they are not subpages of it in any useful sense.
Good uses for this template
Some examples:
- When a BTW:... shortcut goes to a page that is primarily intended for and used as a transclusion
- When a Template:... redirect exists to a template that is mostly used as, and structured as a sub-template module of a larger meta-template.
- When a BattleIntelligence:... redirect exists at the former or easily misremembered location of, or a WP:... shortcut goes to, something that is presently a sub-process of something else
