== Purpose ==
This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template is used to categorize [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]]s from a [[fictional character]] to a related article to a [[Help:list|list of characters]], a type of article that is a collection of brief descriptions and covers the subject more comprehensively. This could be a formal List article, or an article with a formal bulleted list of characters, or an article to which the character is related and lists other characters informally. Links to characters should use this redirect and should {{em|not}} be [[WP:piped|piped]] with the target page name. This allows "what links here" to be used to identify the links to the individual sections. This redirect template populates {{Cat|All fictional character redirects}} and when the first parameter is not used, {{Cat|Fictional character redirects}} is also populated.

== Usage ==
{{Hatnote|Use this redirect category template on '''[[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}

Use this template on any mainspace redirect from a fictional character to a related fictional article or to a list in which the character is an entry, either as a section or as non-section entries. If the redirect is to a section also use {{tl|R to section}}; if it is to an anchor (other than a "section anchor") use {{tl|R to anchor}}.

=== General usage ===
Add this redirect category to a redirect ({{em|not}} a [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner:

<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional character}}
}}
</pre>

Template {{tl|Redirect category shell}} may be used to add as many appropriate redirect categories as needed. For more information see the documentation on its [[Template:Redirect category shell|template documentation]].

This redirect category may also tag a redirect individually:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{R from fictional character}}
</pre>

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

=== Usage with creative work parameter ===
An optional unnamed parameter, {{para|1|(name of work)}}, may be used to supply the name of the creative work that includes the character. This will sort the redirect into a more specific category for that work. For example:

<pre>
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional character|1=The Simpsons}}
}}
</pre>

{{em|or}}

<pre>
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional character|The Simpsons}}
}}
</pre>

{{em|or}}

<pre>
{{R from fictional character|The Simpsons}}
</pre>

All three of the above will populate {{Cat|The Simpsons character redirects to lists}}.

If the relevant category includes "(series)" or "(franchise)", this does not have to be specified as the template will add it, e.g.
<pre>
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional character|Kirby}}
}}
</pre>
will populate [[:Category:Kirby (series) character redirects to lists]], and
<pre>
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional character|Dune}}
}}
</pre>
will populate [[:Category:Dune (franchise) character redirects to lists]].

=== Usage with sort key parameter ===
A second optional unnamed parameter, {{para|2|(sort key)}} may be used to provide a [[WP:sort key|sort key]] for the fictional character that is redirected. For example:

<pre>
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional character|1=Star Wars|2=Antilles, Raymus}}
}}
</pre>

{{em|or}}

<pre>
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional character|Star Wars|Antilles, Raymus}}
}}
</pre>

{{em|or}}

<pre>
{{R from fictional character|Star Wars|Antilles, Raymus}}
</pre>

In {{Cat|Star Wars character redirects to lists}}, all three of the above sort the character redirect, "Raymus Antilles", in alphabetical order by "Antilles" ("A") instead of by "Raymus" ("R"). Without the second parameter, the template sort key is either the redirect page name or the [[WP:DEFAULTSORT|DEFAULTSORT]], if included.

===TemplateData===
{{TemplateData header|noheader=1}}
<templatedata>
{
"description": "A redirect category template which is used to categorize redirects from a fictional character to a related article to a list of characters.",
"params": {
"1": {
"label": "Series name",
"type": "wiki-page-name",
"required": true,
"suggested": false,
"deprecated": false,
"description": "The series article name."
},
"2": {
"label": "Sort key",
"type": "string",
"required": false,
"suggested": false,
"deprecated": false,
"description": "A sort key for the redirect entry."
}
},
"format": "inline"
}
</templatedata>

=== Corresponding category ===
'''Important note:''' the very first time that a creative-work-specific subcategory is named in the first parameter, that category will appear as a [[WP:Red link|red link]] ([[Red link example|Category:Tiddlywinks character redirects to lists]]) at the bottom of the redirect page (if this is not seen or no categories can be seen at the bottom of the page, then be sure your preferences are set to [[Template:Redirect category shell/Comparison#hidcat|see hidden categories]]). If the category link is red, it means that the category [[WP:CATEGORY#Creating category pages|must be created]] to correctly sort the fictional character.

The category name should be similar to creative work article. So if the article uses disambiguation, the category should use it as well.

<pre>
[[Category:(series name) character redirects to lists]]
</pre>

When creating the new category, place {{tl|Fiction-based redirects to list entries category handler}} at the top as follows:
<pre>
{{Fiction-based redirects to list entries category handler|media=}}
</pre>

{{para|media}} should be the type of media the fictional work is. For example: {{para|media|Television}}, {{para|media|Film}}. If in doubt, check [[:Category:Fictional character redirects]] and see what categories are available.

=== 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 main-article namespace, some redirects are considered unprintworthy and others printworthy, 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 redirect category templates automatically populate either {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} or {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} by default. Others like this template, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those redirect categories, ''Printworthy'' or ''Unprintworthy'', is appropriate and should be populated. The templates that are used separately to populate those categories are:
:* {{tlx|R printworthy}}
:* {{tlx|R unprintworthy}}

Click on each one for more details and guidance.

====Usage with printworthy and unprintworthy templates====
<pre>
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional character}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from fictional character}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</pre>
