Printworthiness: Replace common text with {{Redirect category printworthiness}}

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}


{{Substitution|not|nor used to tag [[Wikipedia:Soft redirects|soft redirects]]}}
__NOTOC__
== Usage ==
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[Wikipedia:Mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}

This redirect category ([[Wikipedia:Categorizing redirects|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from subsidiaries}}. This may include any kind of [[subsidiary]] of the target subject, most often a subsidiary companies, department, division, project, or other business unit; but could be a similar sub-division of a non-commercial entity (e.g. an affiliate or chapter of an NGO, a division of an agency/ministry).

Add this rcat to a [[Wikipedia:Redirect pages|redirect page]] ({{em|not}} a [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner, in accord with instructions found at [[WP:REDCAT]]:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[Target article title]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subsidiary}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
Template {{tlx|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, without {{tnull|Rcat shell}}, though this is now {{strongbad|deprecated}}:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="color: #8B0000;">
#REDIRECT [[Target article title]]

{{R from subsidiary}}
</syntaxhighlight>

Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect that is a subsidiary, in the broad sense, of the target (i.e., when the relationship is more specific that one that would call for the generic {{tlx|R from subtopic}} / {{Cat|Redirects from subtopics}} "parent" rcat of this one). This type of redirect might target an article section ({{tlx|R to section}}) and may also have "possibilities" ({{tlx|R with possibilities}}) of becoming a separate ''Wikipedia'' article (i.e. when you can already determine that the subject is likely to pass [[WP:Notability (organizations and companies)]] because you can find non-trivial coverage of the subsidiary in multiple, independent, reliable sources). Use those two rcats along with this one, {{tnull|R from subtopic}}, when appropriate.

To go to a subsection (for this redirect in particular or at least including coverage of it somewhere within):
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[Target article title#Section name]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subsidiary}}
{{R to section}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Parameter ===
The parameter {{para|of}} can be used to specify the entity of which this redirecting subject is a subsidiary, for the unusual case that this redirect's target is not that parent entity, but something else, such as the founder of both entities. In such a case, both this redirect and the value of {{para|of}} should redirect to the same target.

Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[Xander Yojimbo Ziegfeld#Charities]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subsidiary|of=Ziegfeld Family Foundation}}
{{R to section}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

This is a rather self-testing parameter; because it wikilinks the value of {{para|of}}, it will glaringly redlink if you input an invalid value:<br />
{{in5}}'''From a subsidiary:''' This is a redirect from a subsidiary of [[Ziegfeld Family Foundation]], which also redirects to the related target subject.

=== Printworthiness ===
{{Redirect category printworthiness|bullet=In main-article namespace, many redirects from subtopics are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are printworthy, so there is no default sort for [[Wikipedia:Printworthiness|printworthiness]].}}

{{em|In the majority of cases, including redirects to sections, a subsidiary name is printworthy}}, unless the redirect in question is also an {{tlx|R from misspelling}} or similar misnomer.

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

Some things that are {{strong|not}} aliases of this template:
* {{tl|R from subsidiary topic}} – "subsidiary" in this case is an adjective modifying "topic", not a noun meaning "sub-organization"
* {{tl|R from subdivision}} – used for municipal subdivisions (neighborhoods, boroughs)
* {{tl|R from chapter}} – probably too ambiguous to exist, and would mostly get used for book sections
* {{crossref|printworthy=y|See also [[#More-specific alternatives]], below}}
