Printworthiness: Replace common text with {{Redirect category printworthiness}}

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

{{Substitution|not|nor used to tag [[Wikipedia:Soft redirects|soft redirects]]}}
{{tsh|R jointbio}}
__NOTOC__
=== Purpose ===
When a biographical article about more than one person (multiple subjects) has incoming redirects from the names of its subjects, monitoring those redirects is necessary for compliance with Wikipedia's policy on [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|biographies of living persons]]. This rcat accomplishes that purpose by sorting all redirected subjects of joint biographies to a maintenance category.

=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects to joint biographies}} by default. Place this rcat on a redirect page (''not'' a [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to joint biography}}
}}

</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 joint biography}}

</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a person's name to a biographical article that includes that person along with one or more other persons. To ensure that the redirect is correctly sorted to its categories, be familiar with the helpful information found at [[Wikipedia:SORTKEY]].

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

=== Printworthiness ===
{{Redirect category printworthiness|bullet=In main-article namespace, some redirects from persons to joint biography articles are considered printworthy; however, there are others that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for [[wp:printworthiness|printworthiness]].}}

* {{tl|R from person}}
