{{ombox|type=content|text=This is a redirect from an [[emoji]] (whether or not it is in the [[Template:Unicode chart single emojis|Unicode chart emojis]]).}}
{{Substitution|not|nor used to tag [[Wikipedia:Soft redirects|soft redirects]]}}

'''Template:R from emoji''' is used to categorize emoji redirects and populates {{Cat|Redirects from emoji}} when used.

== Usage ==
This template can be used in combination with {{tl|Redirect category shell}} or without. This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this template on any redirect from a title that is an emoji, whether or not it is included in the [[Template:Unicode chart single emojis|Unicode chart single emoji]] (i.e. [[♥]] uses this template).
* For emoji that are a single Unicode character, it should be paired with {{tl|R from Unicode character}}.
** This does {{em|not}} include emoji with skin-tone modifiers, or country flags, which consist of multiple characters. [[👩🏿‍🤝‍👨🏼]], for example, is rendered as one character in most web browsers, but is composed of seven (this can be seen in the [[Percent encoding|percent-encoded]] title of its article: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%F0%9F%91%A9%F0%9F%8F%BF%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%A4%9D%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%91%A8%F0%9F%8F%BC https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%F0%9F%91%A9%F0%9F%8F%BF%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%A4%9D%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%91%A8%F0%9F%8F%BC]).
* For emoji which are a subset of another emoji (such as skin tone variations), use {{tl|R avoided double redirect}} with the value being the base emoji.

=== When using Template:Redirect category shell ===
{{tl|Redirect category shell}} may be used to add as many appropriate redirect categories as needed to a redirect. Add this redirect category to a redirect in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from emoji}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

=== When used individually ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R from emoji}}
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Optional parameters ===
==== Emoji name ====
The name of the emoji should be added using the {{para|1}} parameter. This helps identify the emoji and also sort it by its name.
* {{tlx|R from emoji|(name)}}
* {{tlx|R from emoji|1{{=}}(name)}}
The {{para|name}} comes from the [[CLDR]] and can be found in places such as: https://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/44/annotations/americas.html

==== Flags ====
If the emoji is a flag, {{para|flag}} should be set.
* {{tlx|R from emoji|(name)|flag{{=}}yes}}
* {{tlx|R from emoji|1{{=}}(name)|flag{{=}}yes}}

=== Examples ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from emoji|Flag: Wales|flag=yes}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from emoji|Person: Light Skin Tone}}
{{R avoided double redirect|🧑}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
