__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from alternative spellings}}. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative spelling}}
}}
</pre>
: Template {{tl|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:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R from alternative spelling}}
</pre>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia: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 {{tl|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 [[WP:NOTBROKEN|not broken]]. In addition, these links [[MOS:NOPIPE|should not be replaced]] with [[WP:piped link|piped link]]s.

==== Parameters ====
One of two parameters, either {{para|1}} or {{para|of}}, may be used to alter the text when the other spelling is of a name that is different from the target's title. They are used as follows:
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative spelling|1=(other spelling)}}
}}
</pre>
: ''or'' the {{code|1{{=}}}} may be omitted:
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative spelling|(other spelling)}}
}}
</pre>
: and when the {{para|of}} parameter is used:
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative spelling|of=(other spelling)}}
}}
</pre>
The text will be changed '''from''' {{green|...a different spelling of the target name}} '''to''' {{green|...a different spelling of (other spelling)}}.

==== TemplateData ====
<templatedata>
{
"params": {
"1": {
"aliases": [
"of"
],
"label": "other spelling",
"description": "For spellings that are different from redirect target's",
"type": "string"
}
},
"description": "This redirect category (rcat) template populates the category 'Redirects from alternative spellings'"
}
</templatedata>

==== Aliases ====
* <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:R_from_alternative_spelling|hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&limit=500}} Also known as...]</span> – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used
* If it is a redirect from an excessively [[Anglicized names|anglicized name]] to a more authentic one, please use:
** {{tlx|R from anglicization}} (a template redirect [[Template:R with possibilities|with possibilities]]).
:If, on the other hand, it is anglicization by removal of diacritics, then instead use the separate rcat template:
:* {{tlx|R to diacritics}}.

=== Printworthiness ===
{{info|image=Stop hand nuvola.svg|Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the '''[[WP:Version 1.0 Editorial Team|Version 1.0 Editorial Team]]''', who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of ''Wikipedia''.}}
* In [[wp:mainspace|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 [[wp:printworthiness|printworthiness]]. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]'s goal of increasing access and availability of ''Wikipedia'' articles in {{diff|Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0||1319195|printed versions}}. Some rcats automatically populate either {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} or {{Cat|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:
:* {{tlx|R printworthy}} and
:* {{tlx|R unprintworthy}}
: Please click on each one for more details and guidance.
* Template {{tl|Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.
:: '''Examples:'''
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative spelling}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from alternative spelling}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</pre>
: Either {{tl|Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{tl|Rcat shell}}, may be used.
