__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 plurals}} 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}}. Redirects from plural forms are not usually suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[wp:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]]. See [[#pr|below]] for what to do for those uncommon printworthy ones.
{{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 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 plural}}
{{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 article title)]]

{{R from plural}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from the [[plural]] noun of a [[Grammatical number|singular]] target.
* For redirects that target a related word or phrase, either the {{para|2}} or the {{para|of}} parameter can be used to clarify. For example, the {{-r|Domestic cats}} redirect targets [[Cat]] and is tagged as follows:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{R from plural|of=domestic cat}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: The text will then be altered to include, {{gi|...from a plural noun to its singular form or to a broader article; the singular form is "domestic cat".}}
* {{anchor|pr}}Some plurals are printworthy, for example the [[Arabic]] and [[Latin]] forms. When you add this rcat to a redirect that you decide is printworthy, then {{clarify |text=use the unnamed parameter to subdue the unprintworthy category |reason=Does it require both the unnamed parameter and a separate R printworthy template as in the example, or just the parameter as is implied here? |date=July 2017}} in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from plural|1=printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: ''or'' the {{code|1{{=}}}} may be omitted:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from plural|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: and if used individually:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{R from plural|printworthy}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This will suppress the default {{c|Unprintworthy redirects}} category and instead add the redirect to {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}}.
