Template:R from journal

When used inside the {{Redirect category shell}} template:

When used by itself:

• From journal: This is a redirect from a trade or professional journal article to a more general, relevant wiki article, such as the author or publisher of the article or to the title in an alternative language.
  • Journal articles should only have an individual article when they meet this wiki's notability guidelines and there is enough material to warrant a detailed article.

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from journals and Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Since redirected journal article titles are already mentioned in author and publisher articles, they are usually not needed in the printed version unless they are notable enough to have their own article. In other words they are unprintworthy. See below for what to do for the few journal article redirects that are printworthy.

• By default, this rcat also formats the title of the journal article in italics on the redirect page. See below for those rare instances when this function must be subdued.
• Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from journal}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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 journal}}

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

• Use this rcat on any mainspace redirect from a journal article title to an author, publisher or other more general, relevant article.
• By default, this template places redirects in the unprintworthy category. To tag and categorize a redirect as printworthy, type the addition printworthy in the following manner:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from journal|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

or if applied individually:

{{R from journal|printworthy}}

That will subdue the unprintworthy category and sort the redirect to Category:Printworthy redirects.

• Infrequently, a journal article title might require the use of {{DISPLAYTITLE}} or {{Italic title}} with its |string= parameter to format the title of the redirect. In those cases the default italic title will interfere with that format and must be subdued. When this rcat tags a redirect from inside the Rcat shell template, this is done in the following manner:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from journal|2=noitalics}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
 or:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from journal||noitalics}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

and if applied individually:

{{R from journal|2=noitalics}}
 or:
{{R from journal||noitalics}}

That will subdue the default italic title so no title-display conflict will result.
