Add namespace-specific categories

{{Twinkle standard installation}}
{{Lua|Module:R from fictional object multi|noprotcat=yes}}

=== Purpose ===
This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template is used to categorize [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]]s from a title of a television [[WP:EPISODE|episode]] to a related article or to a [[Help:list|list of episodes]], a type of article that is a collection of brief descriptions and covers the subject more comprehensively. Links to episodes should use this redirect and should {{em|not}} be [[WP:piped|piped]] with the target pagename. This allows "what links here" to be used to identify the links to the individual sections. This redirect template populates {{Cat|Redirects from episodes}} and when the first parameter is not used, {{Cat|Episode redirects to lists}} is also populated.

=== Usage ===
{{Hatnote|Use this redirect category template on '''[[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}

=== General usage ===
Add this redirect category to a redirect ({{em|not}} a [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from television episode}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

Template {{tl|Redirect category shell}} may be used to add as many appropriate redirect categories as needed. For more information see the documentation on its [[Template:Redirect category shell|template documentation]].

This redirect category may also tag a redirect individually:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{R from television episode}}
</syntaxhighlight>

This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].

=== Usage with TV series parameter ===
An optional unnamed parameter, {{para|1|(name of work)}}, may be used to supply the name of the TV series in which the episode is part of. This will sort the redirect into a more specific category for that work. For example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from television episode|1=Friends}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

{{em|or}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from television episode|Friends}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

{{em|or}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{R from television episode|Friends}}
</syntaxhighlight>

All three of the above will populate {{Cat|Friends episode redirects to lists}}.

=== Usage with sort key parameter ===
A second optional unnamed parameter may be used to provide a [[WP:sort key|category sort key]] for the episode that is redirected. For example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from television episode|1=Stargate Atlantis|2=Hive, The}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

{{em|or}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from television episode|Stargate Atlantis|Hive, The}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

{{em|or}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{R from television episode|Stargate Atlantis|Hive, The}}
</syntaxhighlight>

In {{Cat|Stargate Atlantis episode redirects to lists}}, all three of the above will sort the episode redirect, "The Hive", in alphabetical order by "Hive" ("H") instead of by "The" ("T"). Without the second parameter, the category sort key will be either the redirect page name or the [[WP:DEFAULTSORT|DEFAULTSORT:]], if included.

===TemplateData===
{{TemplateData header|noheader=1}}
<templatedata>
{
"description": "A redirect category template which is used to categorize redirects from a television episode to a related article to a list of characters.",
"params": {
"1": {
"label": "Series name",
"type": "wiki-page-name",
"required": true,
"suggested": false,
"deprecated": false,
"description": "The series article name."
},
"2": {
"label": "Sort key",
"type": "string",
"required": false,
"suggested": false,
"deprecated": false,
"description": "A sort key for the redirect entry."
}
},
"format": "inline"
}
</templatedata>

=== Corresponding category ===
'''Important note:''' the very first time that a TV series-specific subcategory is named in the first parameter, that category will appear as a [[WP:Red link|red link]] ([[Red link example|Category:(series name) episode redirects to lists]]) at the bottom of the redirect page (if this is not seen or no categories can be seen at the bottom of the page, then be sure your user preferences are set to [[Template:Redirect category shell/Comparison#hidcat|see hidden categories]]). If the category link is red, it means that the category [[WP:CATEGORY#Creating category pages|must be created]] to correctly sort the episode.

The category name should be similar to TV series article. So if the article uses disambiguation, the category should use it as well.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
Category:(series name) episode redirects to lists
</syntaxhighlight>

When creating the new category, place {{tl|Fiction-based redirects to list entries category handler}} at the top as follows:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Fiction-based redirects to list entries category handler|media=Television}}
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Printworthiness ===
{{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''.}}
In main-article namespace, many redirects from television episodes are printworthy; however, there are many others that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for [[wp:printworthiness|printworthiness]]. 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}}. Some redirect category templates automatically populate either {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} or {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} by default. Others, like this template, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, ''Printworthy'' or ''Unprintworthy'', is appropriate and should be populated. The templates that are used separately to populate those categories are:

* {{tlx|R printworthy}}
* {{tlx|R unprintworthy}}

Click on each one for more details and guidance.

====Usage with printworthy and unprintworthy templates====
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from television episode}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from television episode}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
