	~~__NOTOC__~~
	~~=== Usage ===~~
	~~{{hatnote\|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace\|namespace]]'''.}}~~
	* Use this redirect category ([[WP:RCAT\|rcat]]) template for any redirect that, in your opinion, may stand alone as an article on a notable subject or a template. If you see a redirect with this template, and you are moved to write the article, [[WP:Writing better articles\|then '''be BOLD!''']]
	** For guidance on how to start a new page from a section, please see [[Wikipedia:Summary style]]. It is important that the topic is notable in accordance with the [[WP:N\|guideline]], and that the article is structured in line with the [[WP:MOS\|manual of style]]; otherwise there is a possibility the article will be re-merged and turned back into a redirect.
	* Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
	~~<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">~~
	~~#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]~~

	~~{{Rcat shell\|~~
	~~{{R with possibilities}}~~
	~~{{R printworthy}}~~
	}}
	~~</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 with possibilities}}~~

	~~: This is in accord with the instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].~~
	* If a redirect in [[WP:Template namespace\|template namespace]] is tagged with this rcat, then '''{{cat\|Template redirects with possibilities}}''' is populated.
	* If a redirect is in [[Wikipedia:Category namespace\|categoryspace]], then use {{tl\|R category with possibilities}} ''instead'' of this rcat.
	* If a redirect is in any other namespace, then this rcat populates '''{{Cat\|Redirects with possibilities}}''' and,
	* When a redirect is in the [[wp:mainspace\|main-article namespace]] (mainspace), '''{{Cat\|Printworthy 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 may become articles someday are suitable for a printed version of this encyclopedia. In other words they are [[WP:Printworthiness\|printworthy]].
	{{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''.}}
	* '''Note:''' ''It is possible that a redirect from a misspelling may also be the correct spelling of a different subject with possibilities. An example is {{-r\|Jim Blythe}}[[File:Redirect arrow without text.svg\|35px]][[Jim Blyth]]. However, ''do not'' intentionally link to redirects from misspellings.

Draft articles: update

{{Substitution|not|nor used to tag [[Wikipedia:Soft redirects|soft redirects]]}}

__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* Use this redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template for any redirect that, in your opinion, may stand alone as an article on a notable subject or a template. If you see a redirect with this template, and you are moved to write the article, [[WP:Writing better articles|then '''be BOLD!''']]
** For guidance on how to start a new page from a section, please see [[Wikipedia:Summary style]]. It is important that the topic is notable in accordance with the [[WP:N|guideline]], and that the article is structured in line with the [[WP:MOS|manual of style]]; otherwise there is a possibility the article will be re-merged and turned back into a redirect.
* Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R with possibilities}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</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 with possibilities}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with the instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* If a redirect in [[WP:Template namespace|template namespace]] is tagged with this rcat, then '''{{cat|Template redirects with possibilities}}''' is populated.
* If a redirect is in [[Wikipedia:Category namespace|categoryspace]], then use {{tl|R category with possibilities}} ''instead'' of this rcat.
* If a redirect is in any other namespace, then this rcat populates '''{{Cat|Redirects with possibilities}}''' and,
* When a redirect is in the [[wp:mainspace|main-article namespace]] (mainspace), '''{{Cat|Printworthy 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 may become articles someday are suitable for a printed version of this encyclopedia. In other words they are [[WP:Printworthiness|printworthy]].
{{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''.}}
* '''Note:''' ''It is possible that a redirect from a misspelling may also be the correct spelling of a different subject with possibilities. An example is {{-r|Jim Blythe}}[[File:Redirect arrow without text.svg|35px]][[Jim Blyth]]. However, ''do not'' intentionally link to redirects from misspellings. Use a disambiguated title such as [[Jim Blythe (author)]], until the possibilities of an article about the author are actually realized. See {{tl|R typo}} for more information.''

==== Draft articles ====
When a draft exists in [[WP:DRAFTSPACE|draftspace]], this rcat will sense it and notify anyone who reads the redirect page with the following:
* This is a redirect from a title that is in [[WP:DRAFTSPACE|draft namespace]] at {{color|#0044b1|Draft:(name of page)}}, so {{red|'''''please do not create an article from this redirect'''''}} (unless moving a ready draft here). You are welcome to improve the draft article while it is being considered for inclusion in [[WP:mainspace|article namespace]].
The following category will also be populated:
* {{Cat|Redirects with draftspace articles}}

The text and category only appears if there is an actual aspiring article in draftspace. If the page in draftspace is only a redirect or has zero content, the message will not display.

==== Aliases ====
{{hatnote|Please note that common misspellings can also be [[WP:Criteria for speedy deletion#Redirects|useful redirects]].}}

=== Links to redirects tagged with this template ===
If a page [[WP:WIKILINK|wikilink]]s to a redirect tagged with this template, '''do not''' replace it with a direct link to the target page, as a more specific article may be created on the (currently) redirecting page. However, ''[[WP:R|redirect]]s'' targeting a redirect with possibilities ''should'' be changed, as they violate the [[WP:2R]] policy, and should then be tagged as {{tlg|r avoided double redirect|<nowiki><</nowiki>!-- name of r with possibilities -->|code=on}}.

=== User script for highlighting links to redirects with possibilities ===
To highlight links to redirects with possibilities with a red dashed border, first add this code to [[Special:MyPage/common.js|your common.js]]:<syntaxhighlight lang="js">mw.hook( 'LinkClassifier' ).add( function ( linkClassifier ) {
linkClassifier.cats['redirect-with-possibilities'] = [ 'Category:Redirects with possibilities' ].sort();
