Add namespace-specific categories

__NOTOC__
== Usage ==
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from species to genus}} by default. Add this rcat to a redirect (''not'' a [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from species to genus}}
}}
</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 species to genus}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[WP:REDCAT]].

* Occasionally, a redirect might require the use of {{tl|DISPLAYTITLE}} or {{tl|Italic title}} with its {{para|string}} parameter to format the page's title. In those cases the default italic title will interfere with that format and must be subdued. When this rcat tags a redirect from within the ''Rcat shell'' template, this is done in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from species to genus|noitalic=yes}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: or:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from species to genus|noitalic=1}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: and if used individually:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{R from species to genus|noitalic=yes}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: That will subdue the default italic title so no title-display conflict will result.

* Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a [[taxon]]'s full [[binomial name]] ([[genus]] & [[species]]) to the taxon's higher level genus.
** Also use {{tl|R to monotypic taxon}} when redirecting to a [[monospecific]] genus.
** Use {{tl|R taxon with possibilities}} for redirects that could potentially be expanded into their own articles.
