Template:R from filename

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

When used by itself:

• From a filename: This is a redirect from a title that is a filename of the target.
  • It leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names and can help writing and searches. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from filenames 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 filenames are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.

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

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from filename}}
{{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 filename}}

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

• Use this rcat on all mainspace redirects from titles that are filenames of the targets, e.g.:
  • Notepad.exeMicrosoft Notepad.
  • WINWORD.EXEMicrosoft Word
