== Usage ==<br />
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}<br />
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from surnames}} and, for administrative purposes, {{cat|Surnames}} is also populated by default. Add this rcat to a [[WP:Redirect pages|redirect page]] (''not'' a [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner: <br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><br />
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]<br />
<br />
{{Rcat shell|<br />
{{R from surname}}<br />
}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
: 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:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><br />
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]<br />
<br />
{{R from surname}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].<br />
* Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a [[surname]]. These surname redirects are used because Wikipedia has only one article about a person with this surname, or because one individual is the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Primary topic|most likely topic sought by this surname]] (other persons who share this name might be listed at an [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy|anthroponymy article]] or at the end of a disambiguation page).<br />
* The sort to {{cat|Surnames}} was asked for by contributors who monitor that category for maintenance needs. If necessary, it can be suppressed by using the unnamed parameter, {{para|1}}, in the following manner:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><br />
{{Rcat shell|<br />
{{R from surname|1=nocat}}<br />
}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
: ''or'' the {{code|1{{=}}}} may be omitted:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><br />
{{Rcat shell|<br />
{{R from surname|nocat}}<br />
}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
: and if applied individually:<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><br />
{{R from surname|nocat}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
: That will suppress the redirect's population of ''Category:Surnames'', and it will still populate the ''Redirects from surnames'' category.<br />

<br />
== Printworthiness ==<br />
{{Redirect category printworthiness|bullet=In main-article namespace, some surname redirects are printworthy; however, there are others that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for [[wp:printworthiness|printworthiness]].}}<br />
