Template:R to portal namespace

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

When used by itself:

• To a portal page: This is a redirect from any page inside or outside of portal namespace to a page in that namespace. The above category link leads to a list of redirects from inside portal space. For a list of redirects from outside portal space, see Category:Redirects to portal namespace.

Template documentation follows
Note: the template above may sometimes be partially or fully invisible.
Visit "Template:R to portal namespace/doc" to edit its documentation if it is available. (How does this work?)

Purpose

This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into one of two categories:

1. Category:Redirects to portal namespace – for PNRs and CNRs, or
2. Category:Redirects to portals – for portal redirects to other portal pages

This rcat also populates the following:

• Category:Unprintworthy redirects – redirects from the main-article namespace (mainspace)
  • In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Mainspace redirects that target pages in the portal namespace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace including portal namespace.

Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[Portal:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to portal namespace}}
}}

and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:

#REDIRECT [[Portal:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to portal namespace}}
{{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 [[Portal:(target page name)]]

{{R to portal namespace}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace (including the portal namespace) that targets a page in the portal namespace. This rcat will automatically sort redirects as either inside or outside the portal namespace.
