Template:R from Western name
When used inside the {{Redirect category shell}} template:
This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
|
When used by itself:
- From a Western ordered name: This is a redirect from the Western, forename first name order to the surname-first naming convention for individuals.
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from Western names. Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from Western name}}
}}
- 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 Western name}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat on any mainspace redirect from the Western form form of a name that targets the surname-first form of the subject's name. This type of redirect would be used because the person in question is typically referred to by the Eastern form of their name in reliable sources. Note that not all individuals with such names are to be referred to on Wikipedia this way; see MOS:GIVENNAME.

Printworthiness
 | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia. |
- In the main (article) namespace, many other-name redirects are considered printworthy. However, there are also many that are not printworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, do not. That means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used separately to populate those categories are:

- Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other; for example:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from Western name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from Western name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- {{Redirect category shell}} may be used.
