Template:R from predictable disambiguation

When used inside the {{Redirect category shell}} template:

When used by itself:

• From a predictable disambiguation: This is a redirect from a page name with parenthetical disambiguation that will appear in search predictions for an ambiguous term that readers are likely to search, to a page name using natural disambiguation that otherwise would not appear in predictions for the probable search term.
  • When the redirect and its target have the same base page name and only the disambiguation qualifier is different, use {{R from other disambiguation}} instead.

Usage

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from predictable disambiguation and Category: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 printed versions. Redirects from predictable disambiguation are usually not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy. See below for what to do for those few personal-name redirects that are printworthy.

• Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from predictable disambiguation}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

Template {{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:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{R from predictable disambiguation}}
{{R unprintworthy}}

This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect with parenthetical disambiguation that redirects to an article that uses natural disambiguation when its intent is to cause the subject to be discover-able in search predictions when using Wikipedia's search feature. If the redirect title uses the same base page name and only the parenthetical qualifier is changed, use {{R from other disambiguation}} instead.
• By default, this template categorizes a redirect as unprintworthy. To subdue this default sort and categorize a personal name as printworthy, use the unnamed parameter in the following manner:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from predictable disambiguation|1=printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

or the 1= may be omitted:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from predictable disambiguation|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

and if used individually:

{{R from predictable disambiguation|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}

That will subdue the default Unprintworthy redirects category and populate Category:Printworthy redirects.
