__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[wp:template namespace|template namespace]] redirects only'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates [[:Category:Redirects to userboxes]] by default. Add this rcat to a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect page]] (''not'' a template [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
#REDIRECT [[Template:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to userbox}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: Template {{tl|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">
#REDIRECT [[Template:(target page name)]]

{{R to userbox}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[WP:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any template namespace redirect from a template shortcut, or a redirect that resulted from a page move/rename or merge, to a userbox template.
* Template talk page redirects are in a [[WP:talk namespace|talk namespace]], '''''not'' in the template namespace'''. This rcat should ''not'' be used to tag redirects in ''any'' talk namespace.

==== Aliases ====
* <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:R_to_userbox|hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&limit=500}} Also known as...]</span> – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used

=== Printworthiness ===
{{info|image=Stop hand nuvola.svg|Please do not alter the printworthy settings of ''any'' rcat without first notifying the '''[[WP:Version 1.0 Editorial Team|Version 1.0 Editorial Team]]''', who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of ''Wikipedia''.}}
* This rcat should only be used in template namespace. The following is provided for information purposes only and does not specifically apply to this rcat. In main-article namespace, some redirects are considered printworthy; however, there are other redirects that are unprintworthy, and some rcats have no default sort for [[wp:printworthiness|printworthiness]]. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]'s goal of increasing access and availability of ''Wikipedia'' articles in {{diff|Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0||1319195|printed versions}}. Some rcats automatically populate either {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} or {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} by default. Others do not, and when that happens 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:
:* {{tlx|R printworthy}} and
:* {{tlx|R unprintworthy}}
: Please click on each one for more details and guidance.
* Template {{tl|Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.
:: '''Examples:'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
: Either {{tl|Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{tl|Rcat shell}}, may be used.
