__NOTOC__
== Usage ==
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[Wikipedia:Mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}

This redirect category ([[Wikipedia:Categorizing redirects|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from subtopics}}. Add this rcat to a [[Wikipedia:Redirect pages|redirect page]] ({{em|not}} a [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner, in accord with instructions found at [[WP:REDCAT]]:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[Target article title]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subtopic}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
Template {{tlx|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:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="color: #8B0000;">
#REDIRECT [[Target article title]]

{{R from subtopic}}
</syntaxhighlight>

Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect that is a [[Wikipedia:Subtopics|subtopic]] of the target, if a more specific rcat template (i.e., a more specific subcategory of {{cat|Redirects from subtopics}}) is not available. This type of redirect might target an article section ({{tlx|R to section}}) and may also have "possibilities" ({{tlx|R with possibilities}}) of becoming a separate ''Wikipedia'' article. Use those two rcats along with this one, {{tnull|R from subtopic}}, when appropriate.

To go to a subsection (for this redirect in particular or at least including coverage of it somewhere within):
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[Target article title#Section name]]

{{R from subtopic}}
{{R to section}}
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Printworthiness ===
{{Redirect category printworthiness|bullet=In main-article namespace, many redirects from subtopics are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are printworthy, so there is no default sort for [[Wikipedia:Printworthiness|printworthiness]].}}

== Aliases ==
* <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:R_from_subtopic|hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&limit=500}} Also known as...]</span> – list of template names that redirect here and may also be used as alternative/shortcut names for this template
* {{tl|R from subdivision}} is {{em|not}} an alias of this category, as it is used for municipal subdivisions (i.e., neighborhoods, boroughs).

== TemplateData ==
{{TemplateData header}}
<templatedata>
{
"params": {},
"description": "This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from subtopics, marking this redirect as being from a subtopic of the target article."
}
</templatedata>

== See also ==
* {{tl|R from more specific name}}
* {{tl|R to related topic}}
* {{tl|R to subtopic}}
