=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from unnecessary disambiguation}} and, when the redirect is in [[wp:mainspace|main-article namespace]] (mainspace), then {{Cat|Unprintworthy 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}}. Mainspace redirects that disambiguate needlessly are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[WP:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]].
{{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''.}}
* {{cat|Redirects to disambiguation pages}}, the redirect category that is populated by {{tl|R to disambiguation page}}, is a [[WP:subcategory|subcategory]] of {{C|Redirects from unnecessary disambiguation|this rcat's category}}. So this rcat should not be used on mainspace disambiguation redirects with "(disambiguation)" in the page title. Use {{tl|R to disambiguation page}} ''instead''.
* Add this rcat to a [[WP:Redirect pages|redirect page]] in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: and ''when the redirect is in article mainspace'', printworthiness should also be tagged:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
