Template:R from template-generated category

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

When used by itself:

• From a template-generated category: This is a redirect from a category name that is generated by default by a template of any kind, but where that category is now invalid in favour of the target category, and the template is able to resolve the category name using this redirect.
  • Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to use this category directly has been demonstrated) nor delete this page.
  • This template should only be used on categories which have also been soft-redirected via {{Category redirect}}.

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

Usage

Use this rcat template in category namespace only.

Place this template as the second unnamed parameter in {{Category redirect}}.

{{Category redirect | (target page name) | {{R from template-generated category}} }}

• It is not necessary to append | keep=yes, because that is switched on by the presence of this template in the second unnamed parameter.

• If {{R from category navigation}} is also applicable, as on Category:Years of the 19th century in Sri Lanka, do not use a pipe between the two "R from" templates. They should both be included in the second parameter.
