{{tsh|R from people}}
__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates both {{Cat|Redirects from people}} and {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}}. 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}}. Mainspace redirects from a person or persons are usually suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[WP:Printworthiness|printworthy]]. [[#noprint|See below]] for those instances when a redirect from a person is unprintworthy.
{{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]] (''not'' a [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from person}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

</syntaxhighlight>
:: <small>Use the [[WP:SORTKEY|DEFAULTSORT]] magic word to ensure that person redirects are sorted by [[surname]] rather than [[given name]].</small>
: 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 person}}

</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[WP:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a person or persons to a related article that includes the person(s). This applies when that redirect is a topic more specific than currently provided on the target page or section of that page, and so is a subject that may be suitable for expansion in accordance with [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|Wikipedia's policy]] on biographies of notable people.
* {{anchor|noprint}} Most of these redirects are considered printworthy, so this rcat also populates {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} by default. There are some redirects from persons that are not considered notable and printworthy, so when you add this rcat to a redirect that you decide is unprintworthy, then use the unnamed parameter to subdue the ''Printworthy redirects'' category in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from person|1=unprintworthy}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: ''or'' the {{code|1{{=}}}} may be omitted:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from person|unprintworthy}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: and when used individually:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{R from person|unprintworthy}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: That will subdue the {{c|Printworthy redirects}} category and will add the redirect to {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}}.

==== Aliases and variants ====
* <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:R_from_person|hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&limit=500}} Also known as...]</span> – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used

'''More-specific redirects:''' several redirects are more specific and should be used when applicable, as they may eventually become maintenance subcategories if [[:Category:Redirects from people]] becomes too unwieldy:
* {{tl-r|R from founder}}
* {{tl-r|R from co-founder}}
* {{tl-r|R from executive}}
* {{tl-r|R from boardmember}}
* {{tl-r|R from employee}}
* {{tl-r|R from victim}}
There are also a few that have already split into separate template/category pairs:
* {{tlx|R from member}} (for bands, military units, etc.)
There are few occupational-relationship splits more specific than this. One is:
* {{tlx|R from writer}} a.k.a. {{tlx|R from author}}
A few family-relationship variants also exist:
* {{tlx|R from relative}}
* {{tlx|R from spouse}}
