__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[wp:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from synonyms}} and, when the redirect is in [[wp:mainspace|mainspace]], then {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} is also populated 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 synonyms are suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[wp:Printworthiness|printworthy]].
{{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 in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from synonym}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</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 page name)]]

{{R from synonym}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a title that is a word that has the same or a similar meaning to (is a [[synonym]] of) the target's page name. This rcat should never be applied in the [[Synonym (taxonomy)|taxonomic sense of "synonym"]]; it must only tag redirects that are semantic synonyms of their targets, for example:
** {{-r|Automobile}}[[File:Redirect arrow without text.svg|35px|class=skin-invert]][[Car]]
** For taxonomic synonyms use {{tl|R from alternative scientific name}} ''instead''.
==== Aliases ====
* <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:R_from_synonym|hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&limit=500}} Also known as...]</span> – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used

=== TemplateData ===
{{TemplateData header}}
<TemplateData>
{
"description": "Used to mark a redirect as having a title which is a synonym of the title for the target page; also categorizes the redirect. This template takes no parameters.",
"params": { }
}
</TemplateData>
