Template:R from highway

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

When used by itself:

• From a highway: This is a redirect from a highway page title that may be a topic more detailed than the target page. When the target page becomes too long, this redirect may be converted into an article that will be carved out of the target page.
  • Do not replace these redirected links with a link directly to the target page.

Visit "Template:R from highway/doc" to edit its documentation if it is available. (How does this work?)

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from highway routes 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. Most redirects to highway articles are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy. See below for what to do for those highway redirects that are printworthy.

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

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

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

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

• Use this rcat to tag "Highway" redirects in mainspace, some of which may be topics more detailed than their targets, to a list of highways or a related highway article (or section).
• |printworthy – By default, this template tags and categorizes redirects as unprintworthy. Use this parameter to subdue this behavior, and populate Category:Printworthy redirects in the following manner:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from highway|1=printworthy}}
{{R with possibilites}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

or the 1= may be omitted:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from highway|printworthy}}
{{R with possibilites}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

and when used individually:

{{R from highway|printworthy}}
{{R with possibilities}}
{{R printworthy}}

This must be done when {{R with possibilities}} is also used; if the unprintworthy category is not subdued, then both categories, Printworthy redirects and Unprintworthy redirects, will be populated, an undesirable situation.
