__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates subcategories of {{Cat|Redirects from ambiguous sort names}} depending on its [[WP:SORTKEY|sortkey]]s ([[#Category sortkeys|see below]]), and it also populates {{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}}. Redirects from ambiguous sort names are suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[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''.}}
* Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from ambiguous sort name|1=(sortkey)|2=(sortkey)}}
{{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 page name)]]

{{R from ambiguous sort name|1=(sortkey)|2=(sortkey)}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat on any redirect from an ambiguous sort name to a disambiguation page. These redirects are pointed to by links that should always be disambiguated. Therefore, this template should '''never''' appear on any page that has "(disambiguation)" in its title unless the target page also has "(disambiguation)" in its title. For those redirects use {{tl|R to disambiguation page}} ''instead''.

==== Parameters ====
* As shown above, two [[WP:SORTKEY|category sortkey]]s should be added whenever this rcat tags a redirect. The first parameter's sortkey is the ''first letter of the redirect title''. For example, on the redirect '''{{-r|Johnson, Frank}}''' the first sortkey is "J" (sortkeys are always in ''[[uppercase]]'' capital letters, please). The second parameter's sortkey is the first letter of the target article, in this case '''Frank Johnson''', so the second sortkey is "F". Please remember to include these sortkeys. This example would appear as follows:
: '''Johnson, Frank''' (page title of redirect)
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[Frank Johnson]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from ambiguous sort name|J|F}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
* In this example, the redirect populates the following categories:
** {{cat|Redirects from ambiguous sort names, J}}
** {{cat|Redirects from ambiguous sort names by article title, F}}
** {{cat|Printworthy redirects}}

==== Aliases ====
* <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:R_from_ambiguous_term|hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&limit=500}} Also known as...]</span> – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used
