Template:R to template namespace/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:R to template namespace.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects.

Shortcut

{{R to template}}

Purpose

This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into the following categories:

{{Cat|Redirects to template namespace}
Category:Unprintworthy redirects

This rcat should not be used to tag redirects that are inside the template namespace. If placed on a redirect that is a template page, this rcat will not populate the expected category(ies). The redirect will instead be sorted to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.

Usage

Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[Template:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to template namespace}}
}}

and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:

#REDIRECT [[Template:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to template namespace}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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 [[Template:(target page name)]]

{{R to template namespace}}

Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a page outside of the template namespace that targets a page inside the template namespace.

This rcat should never be used on a redirect page that is in the template namespace.
