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

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from less specific name}}
}}
</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 less specific name}}
</pre>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag all redirects from a title that is a less specific, more general page name.
* '''Important note:''' If the redirect situation suggests that we are missing a more general, overarching article than the redirect target's scope, then {{tl|R with possibilities}} should also be used to tag the redirect. If the target page of the redirect needs a broader scope, then this issue should be raised ''on the article's talk page''.

==== When to use a different Rcat template ====
* If the redirect is simply a shorter version of the same name, use {{tl|R from short name}} instead.
* If the redirect is a completely different name for the same topic, use {{tl|R from alternative name}} instead.
* For redirects that are incorrect names for the target, use {{tl|R from incorrect name}}.

==== Aliases ====
* <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:R_from_less_specific_name|hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&limit=500}} Also known as...]</span> – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used

=== Printworthiness ===
{{notice|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 to more general page titles are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are 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 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 less specific name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

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

=== TemplateData ===
{{TemplateData header}}
<TemplateData>
{
"description": "Places a redirect in [[Category:Redirects from less specific names]]. This template can be added to a redirect which has a name which is a valid alternative to the title of the target page, specifically a more general term for the subject of the article; it may indicate that a broader article needs to be created, or that the scope of the extant article needs to be expanded. There are some more specific alternative name redirect templates which can be used instead of this one, such as {{R from full name}} (for individuals) and {{R from more specific geographic name}} (for places). Do not use this template if the redirect is an incorrect title for the target page; use {{R from incorrect name}} instead. This template takes no parameters.",
