w>Ahecht: Add namespace-specific categories

Add namespace-specific categories

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

{{Substitution|not|nor used to tag [[Wikipedia:Soft redirects|soft redirects]]}}
{{Tsh|R to talk|R talk}}
__NOTOC__
=== Purpose ===
This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template sorts redirects into the following categories:
# {{Cat|Redirects to talk pages}} – for [[WP:PNR|pseudo-namespace]] and [[WP:CNR|cross-namespace]] redirects, and
# {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} – only redirects from the [[wp:Main namespace|main-article namespace]] (mainspace)
:: 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 target pages in the talk namespace 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''.}}
This rcat is should '''''not''''' be used to tag redirects that are in ''any'' talk namespace. If placed on a talk-page redirect, it will not populate the expected category(ies); the redirect will instead be sorted to {{Cat|Pages with templates in the wrong namespace}}.

=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in any [[wp:namespace|namespace]] '''except on any [[wp:Talk namespace|talk page]]'''.}}
* Apply this rcat to a redirect page (''not'' a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(full target talk page name)]]

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

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to talk 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 [[(full target talk page name)]]

{{R to talk page}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a page ''outside'' of the talk namespaces to any page in any of the talk namespaces. This rcat should ''never'' be used on any redirect that is itself in any talk namespace. Examples of talk pages are:
** [[Talk:Thomas Paine]]
** [[User talk:Jimbo Wales]]
** [[Wikipedia talk:Editing policy]]

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

=== See also ===
* {{R from remote talk page}} – for redirects from one talk page to another
* [[Wikipedia:Namespace]] – for a list of all talkspaces
