Template:Soft redirect with Wikidata item

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

This rcat should not be converted to the "{{Redirect template}}". In accord with that template's documentation, such a conversion would make this template unstable for use on soft redirects.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This special redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Soft redirects connected to a Wikidata item. It is "special" because it is used only to tag soft redirects that are connected to Wikidata items. To tag hard redirects that are connected to Wikidata, use the {{R with Wikidata item}} rcat template.

A typical soft redirect may appear as:

{{wiktionary redirect|(page name)}}

{{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}}

• Use this rcat on all soft redirects in any namespace from titles that are used as connections to other Wikimedia projects. See the category for examples.
• Note that the {{Redirect category shell}} (Rcat shell) template is not used on soft redirects, so this rcat template should only be used without the Rcat shell template.

Parameter

This rcat takes one unnamed parameter, |1=, that may be used when a Wikidata "Q" number does not readily fill in, and you know that it exists on Wikidata. An example would be as follows:

{{wiktionary redirect|Duval (surname)}}

{{Soft redirect with Wikidata item|21491525}}

...where the number on Wikidata is Q21491525.

Error detection

This template automatically places redirects that are not linked to Wikidata items in the tracking category Category:Unlinked Wikidata redirects. Please fix these, either by removing {{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}} or by linking them to Wikidata.
