Template:R to subtopic

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

When used by itself:

• To a subtopic: This is a redirect to a subtopic of the redirect's title.
  • If the redirect topic is detailed enough to sustain its own article, then use {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}} in addition. If notability of the subject is supportable, then by all means be bold and convert this redirect into an article about the topic.

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

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to subtopics. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to subtopic}}
}}

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 to subtopic}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect to a subtopic of the redirect's title. This type of redirect may have possibilities of becoming a Wikipedia article. Use {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}} along with R to subtopic when appropriate:

{{Rcat shell|{{R to subtopic}}{{R with possibilities}}{{R printworthy}}}}

• If notability of the subject can be supported, then be bold and convert the redirect into an article on the subject.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many redirects to subtopics are considered printworthy; however, there are many others that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness.
• In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used separately to populate those categories are:

• {{R printworthy}} and
• {{R unprintworthy}}

Please click on each one for more details and guidance.

• Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these and any other rcats:

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R to subtopic}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R to subtopic}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
