Add namespace-specific categories

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

{{Twinkle standard installation}}
{{Substitution|not|nor used to tag [[Wikipedia:Soft redirects|soft redirects]]}}
{{tsh|R without mention|R to page without mention}}

__NOTOC__
=== Purpose ===
This template is used to populate a "container" category that should remain empty. If another more specific template cannot be found to tag a redirect, then there are two options:
# Look for other solutions such as to find a way to mention the redirect title in the article, or to find and retarget to another article (a better target) where the redirect title is mentioned or can be added, etc.
# Tag the redirect with this template.

=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates both {{Cat|Redirects to an article without mention}} and {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} 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 words, phrases or topics that are not mentioned in their target articles are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[WP:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]]. You can add <code>|printworthy=yes</code> to override this behavior.
{{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 (''not'' a [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to article without mention}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</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 article title)]]

{{R to article without mention}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag a redirect to an article in which the redirect's page name is ''not'' mentioned. Exceptions to the use of this template are titles that are ''obvious omissions'' from their target articles. Check the '''[[WP:Template messages/Redirect pages|rcat index]]''' for more specific templates to use ''instead'' when they apply, for example, {{tl|R from incorrect name}} for wrong names, {{tl|R typo}} for misspellings of article titles, and so on. To clarify, if a redirect is a typo then it would not be expected to be included in the target article, so redirects tagged with ''R typo'' should '''''not''''' be tagged with ''R to article without mention''.

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