Template:R from alternative spelling/doc

Usage

 * This redirect category (rcat) template populates . Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
 * 1) REDIRECT (target page name)


 * 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:


 * 1) REDIRECT (target page name)


 * This is in accord with instructions found at REDCAT.


 * Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace from a title with a different correct spelling of the target.
 * Do not use this rcat to tag a redirect from an incorrectly spelled title – misspelled redirects should be tagged with R from misspelling instead – such "typo" redirects are frequently good search terms.
 * Pages that link to these redirects may be updated to link directly to the target pages if that results in an improvement of the text. Do not "fix" such links if they are not broken.  In addition, these links should not be replaced with piped links.

Parameters

Printworthiness

 * In main-article namespace, many redirects from other spellings of target titles 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 .  Some rcats automatically populate either  or  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:
