__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from books}} and {{Cat|Unprintworthy 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}}. Since redirected book titles are already mentioned in author and publisher articles, they are usually not needed in the printed version unless they are notable enough to have their own article. In other words they are [[WP:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]]. [[#print|See below]] for what to do for the few book redirects that are 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''.}}
* By default, this rcat also formats the title of the book in ''italics'' on the redirect page. [[#noital|See below]] for those rare instances when this function must be subdued.
* 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 book}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</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 book}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[WP:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat on any mainspace redirect from a book title to an author, publisher or other more general, relevant article.
* {{anchor|print}}By default, this template places redirects in the unprintworthy category. To tag and categorize a redirect as printworthy, type the addition <code>'''printworthy'''</code> in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from book|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
:or if applied individually:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{R from book|printworthy}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: That will subdue the unprintworthy category and sort the redirect to {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}}.
* {{anchor|noital}}Infrequently, a book title might require the use of {{tl|DISPLAYTITLE}} or {{tl|Italic title}} with its {{para|string}} parameter to format the title of the redirect. In those cases the default italic title will interfere with that format and must be subdued. When this rcat tags a redirect from inside the ''Rcat shell'' template, this is done in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from book|2=noitalics}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
or:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from book||noitalics}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
:and if applied individually:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{R from book|2=noitalics}}
or:
{{R from book||noitalics}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: That will subdue the default italic title so no title-display conflict will result.
