Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from numeronyms. Add this rcat to a redirect page, not a talk page, in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from numeronym}}
}}

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 numeronym}}

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

• Use this rcat on all redirects from numeronyms to their expanded forms. Please do not use this template for initialisms that are not also numeronyms. Instead, use the {{R from initialism}} rcat. Also, if the redirect is from the initials of a personal name, then use {{R from short name}} instead.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, numeronyms are typically found unprintworthy. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Like this one, some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default.

Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
