__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template automatically populates {{Cat|Redirects from other disambiguation}} and, when the redirect is in [[wp:mainspace|main-article namespace]] (mainspace), then {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} is also populated 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}}. Alternative disambiguations are not usually suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[WP:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]]. [[#print|See below]] for what to do for the few redirects from other disambiguations 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''.}}
* Add this rcat to a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect page]] in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from other disambiguation}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: and optionally providing the page the redirect is an alternative disambiguation of, if different from the redirect's title:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

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

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from other disambiguation}}
{{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 other disambiguation}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[WP:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace that disambiguates (qualifies) a subject [[WP:NATURAL|usually with parentheses, "()"]], and often as the result of a page move/rename. The target article must also have a disambiguator in its title. For example:
** {{-r|Pitbull (entertainer)}}[[File:Redirect arrow without text.svg|35px]][[Pitbull (rapper)]].
** {{-r|Tyre (Lebanon)}}[[File:Redirect arrow without text.svg|35px]][[Tyre, Lebanon]] (from a [[WP:PARENDIS|parenthetical to a comma-separated]] disambiguation)
* These redirected disambiguations are correct, complete, not unnecessary and yet '''different'''. When disambiguations are '''incorrect''', '''incomplete''' or '''unnecessary''', then use {{tl|R from incorrect disambiguation}}, {{tl|R from incomplete disambiguation}} or {{tl|R from unnecessary disambiguation}} to tag those redirects ''instead''.
* {{anchor|print}}By default, this template tags redirects as unprintworthy. To tag and categorize a redirect as printworthy, use the bar key ( '''¦''' ) on your keyboard to type the addition '''{{para|printworthy|yes}}''' in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from other disambiguation|printworthy=yes}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
:: <small>'''Note:''' The bar key ( '''¦''' ) on the keyboard renders as a pipe ( '''|''' ) on the screen.</small>
: That will subdue the default unprintworthy category and populate {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} ''instead''.
