__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}
* Use this [[WP:RCAT|rcat]] for any [[Wikipedia:redirect|redirect]] that is an alternative [[scientific name]] of an organism and targets the scientific name used as the title of the Wikipedia article (which should be the scientific name accepted as correct by reliable sources).
* An unnamed parameter may be used to specify more precisely the kind of organism involved and to put the article in the appropriate subcategory. For example, {{tlc|R from alternative scientific name|fungus}} sorts the redirect to {{Cat|Redirects from alternative scientific names of fungi}}.
:Parameters currently supported and the resulting categories are:
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Switch parameters supported

| alga || {{Cat|Redirects from alternative scientific names of algae}}

Unrecognized switch parameters will place the page into the category [[:Category:Redirects from alternative scientific names using unknown values for parameter 1]]

* Add this rcat to a redirect page (''not'' a [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative scientific name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: Template {{tl|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:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{R from alternative scientific name}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* This rcat populates {{Cat|Redirects from alternative scientific names}} or one of its subcategories and {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]'s goal of increasing access and availability of ''Wikipedia'' articles in {{diff|Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0||1319195|printed versions}}. A mainspace redirect from alternative scientific nomenclature is usually suitable for a printed version. In other words such redirects are usually [[wp:Printworthiness|printworthy]].
{{info|image=Stop hand nuvola.svg|Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the '''[[WP:Version 1.0 Editorial Team|Version 1.0 Editorial Team]]''', who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of ''Wikipedia''.}}
: The second parameter, {{para|2}}, may be used if the redirect is not printworthy in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative scientific name|2=unprintworthy}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: or the {{code|2{{=}}}} may be omitted if the first parameter is empty:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative scientific name||unprintworthy}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: and if used by itself:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{R from alternative scientific name||unprintworthy}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: Use of the 2nd parameter subdues the ''Printworthy redirects'' category and populates {{cat|Unprintworthy redirects}}.
