Usage

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from US postal abbreviations 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 postal abbreviations 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 US postal abbreviation}}
{{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 US postal abbreviation}}

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

Use this rcat to tag all mainspace redirects from United States (US) postal abbreviations that target their associated municipalities.
