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

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from more specific 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 more specific name}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a title that is a more specific, less general page name.

==== When to use a different rcat template ====
* If the redirect is simply a longer version of the same name, use {{tl|R from long name}} instead.
* If the redirect is a completely different name for the same topic, use {{tl|R from alternative name}} instead.
* If the redirect names a subtopic 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_more_specific_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 more specific names]]. This template can be added to a redirect which has a name which is a valid alternative to the title of the target page. There are some more specific alternative name redirect templates which can be used instead of this one, such as {{R from full name}} (for individuals) and {{R from more specific geographic name}} (for places). 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": {
}
}
</TemplateData>
