Template documentation follows
Note: the template above may sometimes be partially or fully invisible.
Visit "Template:R from Western name/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 Category:Redirects from Western names. Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from Western name}}
}}

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 Western name}}

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

• Use this rcat on any mainspace redirect from the Western form form of a name that targets the surname-first form of the subject's name. This type of redirect would be used because the person in question is typically referred to by the Eastern form of their name in reliable sources. Note that not all individuals with such names are to be referred to on Wikipedia this way; see MOS:GIVENNAME.

Printworthiness

• In the main (article) namespace, many other-name redirects are considered printworthy. However, there are also many that are not printworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, do not. That means 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:

• {{R printworthy}} and
• {{R unprintworthy}} please click on each one for more details and guidance.
• Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other; for example:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from Western name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from Western name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

{{Redirect category shell}} may be used.
