__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]] ''except'' [[WP:Talk namespaces|talk namespaces]].'''}}
* This redirect category [[WP:RCAT|(rcat)]] template automatically populates {{Cat|Redirects to disambiguation pages}} and, when the redirect is in [[wp:mainspace|main-article namespace]] (mainspace), this rcat also populates {{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}}. Mainspace redirects to disambiguation pages 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''.}}
* Place this rcat on a redirect page (''never'' on a [[WP:Talk namespaces|talk page redirect]]) in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

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

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R to disambiguation page}}
{{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 page name)]]

{{R to disambiguation page}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat on all redirects to disambiguation (dab) pages '''''if and only if''''' the redirect on which this rcat is placed has the word "(disambiguation)" after its title. If an ambiguous subject does not have a [[WP:primary topic|primary topic]], then the name of the subject will be the title of a dab page and will not have the word "(disambiguation)" following their page name. For these, a redirect titled with exactly the same title plus the word "(disambiguation)", this is necessary if a disambiguation page is linked to from another Wikipedia page (see [[WP:INTDABLINK]] for further information).

:An example is the dab page [[Antenna]], which does not have the word "(disambiguation)" after its title. The associated redirect that does is [[Antenna (disambiguation)]], and that redirects to the "Antenna" page. If one clicks that "Antenna (disambiguation)" link, then just below the page title, "Antenna", appear the phrases:
:: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br />{{nbsp|5}}{{small|{{color|#444|(Redirected from {{-r|Antenna (disambiguation)}})}}}}
: Click on that link either here or on the "Antenna" page to see the redirect. That redirect, the one with the word "(disambiguation)" in its title, is the '''''only''''' kind of redirect that should be categorized by this rcat.
* If this rcat tags a redirect that does not have "(disambiguation)" in its title, the redirect will populate '''{{cat|Pages with incorrectly transcluded disambiguation templates}}''' and will need to be repaired.
