Template:R from railroad name with ampersand

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

When used by itself:

• From a railroad name with an ampersand: This is a redirect from the title of a railroad that is correct, but uses an ampersand (&) in place of the word "and". this wiki's naming convention for railroad companies is to use "and".

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from railroad names with ampersands 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. Redirects from railroad names with ampersands (&) are usually not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy. The word "and" should always be used; however, if the redirect is a former name, then it may be considered printworthy with the ampersand. See below for what to do if the redirect is printworthy.

• Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from railroad name with ampersand}}
{{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 railroad name with ampersand}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag all mainspace redirects from railroad names that are correct, but that use the ampersand (&) instead of the word "and". Wikipedia's naming convention for railroad company titles is to use the word "and".

Printworthy

• In a few cases, a redirect may be printworthy, so this rcat has an unnamed |1= parameter that will change the printworthiness as follows:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from railroad name with ampersand|1=printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

• (The "1=" may be omitted.) The above will change from the Unprintworthy redirects category to Category:Printworthy redirects.
