Add namespace-specific categories

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

{{High-use}}
{{Substitution|not|nor used to tag [[Wikipedia:Soft redirects|soft redirects]]}}
{{Twinkle standard installation}}
{{template shortcut|R miscap}}

__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* Use this redirect category ([[wp:RCAT|rcat]]) template on a redirect in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from miscapitalisation}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: and ''when the redirect is in article mainspace'', printworthiness should also be tagged:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from miscapitalisation}}
{{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 page name)]]

{{R from miscapitalisation}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* '''Example:''' the [[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] article redirect '''<big>{{-r|Pope francis}}</big>''' is tagged:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[Pope Francis]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from miscapitalisation}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: or if used individually:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[Pope Francis]]

{{R from miscapitalisation}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
</syntaxhighlight>
* This template takes a parameter, either unnamed ({{para|1}}) or named ({{para|of}}) that may be used to provide the correct form when it is '''not''' the same as the target page's title – for example when an alternate name for the article has been miscapitalised. Supply the correct name as the first parameter in any of the following ways:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from miscapitalisation|(correct form)}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

or

{{R from miscapitalisation|1=(correct form)}}

or

{{R from miscapitalisation|(correct form)}}

or

{{R from miscapitalisation|of=(correct form)}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: '''Example:''' the miscapitalised redirect '''<big>{{-r|Westminster palace}}</big>''' employs:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[Palace of Westminster]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from miscapitalisation|Westminster Palace}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
{{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''.}}
* This rcat populates {{Cat|Redirects from miscapitalisations}} 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}}. Most miscapitalisations are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[WP:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]]. Here is what to do for those few miscapitalisations that are printworthy:
** If a [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]] redirect is a miscapitalisation that is deemed to be printworthy, then the default listing in the ''Unprintworthy redirects'' category can be subdued and the redirect {{C|Printworthy redirects|categorized as printworthy}} by use of the second parameter:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from miscapitalisation||printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

or if applied individually:

{{R from miscapitalisation|2=printworthy}}

or use two pipes to make an empty first parameter:

{{R from miscapitalisation||printworthy}}
</syntaxhighlight>
:: '''Note 1: All redirects that are in main-article namespace (mainspace) are considered either printworthy (usable in printed versions of Wikipedia) or unprintworthy. When an untagged redirect is found, please decide its [[wp:printworthiness|printworthiness]] and tag it appropriately.'''
:: '''Note 2:''' If used individually with the {{para|of}} parameter employed, and the redirect is deemed printworthy, then the second parameter must be applied as {{para|2|printworthy}} in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from miscapitalisation|of=(correct form)|2=printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
:: If {{large|"2{{=}}"}} is not used, then unexpected results will occur, even when applied individually.
:: '''Note 3:''' Redirects from miscapitalisations should not be directly linked. Pipe the title with possibilities to a disambiguated title, for example:
::* <nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[Jim Blythe (author)]]<nowiki>|Jim Blythe]]</nowiki>, which appears as [[Jim Blythe (author)|Jim Blythe]]
:* '''Important note:''' When this rcat is used together with ''R with possibilities'', the Unprintworthy category '''''must be subdued''''' or else the redirect will populate both Printworthy and Unprintworthy categories, which of course is unacceptable.
* This rcat may be used to tag redirects from [[homoglyph]]s and [[homograph]]s when they have been created in error or specifically made available as search terms.
