When used by itself:

• To a comics list entry: This is a redirect from a comics related title for a minor topic to a list of minor entities, a type of article which is a collection of brief descriptions and covers the subject more comprehensively.
  • Links to list entries should use this redirect and should not be piped with the target pagename. This allows "what links here" to be used to identify the links to the individual sections.

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

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

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)#target list entry section/anchor]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R comics to list entry}}
}}

Either {{R comics to section}} or {{R to anchor}} should also be used.

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 to list entry}}

Again, either {{R comics to section}} or {{R to anchor}} should also be used.

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

• Use this rcat on any mainspace comics redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry…
• Use if there is no separate article on the subject, and the subject is included in a list, either:
  • in an article entitled "List of …", or
  • a section of an article either:
    • titled a list; or
    • containing entries that are not themselves sections. Also use This page is being depreciated where appropriate.
• For a redirect to a comics article section about the subject use the This page is being depreciated rcat instead.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many list-entry redirects to comics articles are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that might become articles and 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

Please click on each one for more details and guidance.

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

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R comics to list entry}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R comics to list entry}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
