__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[Wikipedia:Categorizing redirects|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from band names}}. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from band name}}
}}
</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 band name}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any redirect from musical band or musical group name that redirects ''to'' an article on a single person, i.e. the band or group leader. The band or group name will usually include the name of the band or group leader. Use {{tl|R to section}} additionally if appropriate.

==== When to use a different rcat template ====
* If the redirect is the name of a person who is a member of a group in its title that redirects ''to'' a band or group name, use {{tl|R from member}} instead.
* If the redirect is a single person's stage name that redirects to that individual's real name, use {{tl|R from pseudonym}} instead.
* If the redirect is a single person's real name that redirects to that individual's stage name, use {{tl|R from personal name}} instead.
* If the redirect is the name of a song or album, use {{tl|R from song}} or {{tl|R from album}} (respectively) instead.
* If the redirect names a subtopic that is not a band or group name that is treated in detail at the target article, use {{tl|R from subtopic}} instead (and {{tl|R to section}} if appropriate).
* For redirects that are incorrect names for the target, use {{tl|R from incorrect name}}.

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

=== Printworthiness ===
{{Redirect category printworthiness|bullet=In [[wp:mainspace|main-article namespace]], many redirects to more general page titles are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are printworthy, so there is no default sort for [[wp:printworthiness|printworthiness]].}}

=== TemplateData ===
{{TemplateData header}}
<TemplateData>
{
"description": "Places a redirect in [[:Category:Redirects from band names]]. This template can be added to a redirect from musical band or musical group name that redirects ''to'' an article on a single person. The band or group name will often include the name of the band or group leader.. There are other alternative name redirect templates which can be used instead of this one, such as {{R from member}} (for redirects ''from'' band members ''to'' band names), {{R from personal name}} and {{R from pseudonym}} (for redirects ''to'' and ''from'' a single person's stage name respectively), {{R from subtopic}} (for topics that are not band names) and {{R from alternative name}} (for alternative band names). Do not use this template if the redirect is an incorrect title for the target page; use {{R from incorrect name}} instead. This template takes no parameters.",
"params": {
}
