Template:R from subsidiary title/doc

__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__

Purpose

This redirect category (rcat) template is for special cases of {{R from incorrect name}}. This template is used to label a redirect as being from a subsidiary title in the peerage system – an hereditary title held by a royal or a noble that is not regularly used to identify that person.

This template marks a redirect as one that ought not be used, and targets the greater concurrent hereditary title. Any link to a redirect page transcluding this template ought to be changed to the correct hereditary title. According to protocol, these redirects should never be used in articles; only the correct hereditary title should ever be used in Main article namespace.

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This rcat template populates both Category:Redirects from subsidiary titles 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 subsidiary titles, like incorrect names, are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.

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

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subsidiary title}}
{{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 subsidiary title}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag peerage-title redirects in mainspace when the correct hereditary title is the target of the redirect. An example is:
  • Baron De La WarrEarl De La Warr ("De La Warr" lends its name to the US state of Delaware and is pronounced the same way.)
