Template:R comics from related word

%5B%5BWP%3ACSD%23G6%7CG6%5D%5D%3A+%5B%5BWikipedia%3ATemplates+for+discussion%2FLog%2F2025+November+5%23Redirect+comics+templates%5D%5D{{{CRITERION}}}When used inside the {{Redirect category shell}} template:

When used by itself:

• From a comics-related word or phrase: This is a redirect from a word, phrase, concept, character, story or item to a comics title that is related in some way. This redirect might be a good candidate for a Wiktionary link.
  • Redirects from related words are not properly redirects from alternative spellings of the same word. They are also different than redirects from a subtopic or related topic, since a related word is unlikely to warrant a full subtopic in the target page, or to have the possibility of ever becoming an article.

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Comics redirects from related words by default. Place this rcat on a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R comics from related word}}
}}

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 comics from related word}}

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

• Use this rcat on any mainspace comics redirect from a word, phrase, concept, character, story or item to a comics title that is related in some way. This type of redirect might be a good candidate for a Wiktionary link. These are different from related "topics" in that a topic may someday have its own article, while a related word or phrase likely will not.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many comics redirects from related words are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are 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, and 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:

• This page is being depreciated and
• This page is being depreciated

• Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these and any other rcats:

{{R comics from related word}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R comics from related word}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
