__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates both {{Cat|Redirects to plurals}} and {{cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} by default. 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}}. The singular forms for which this rcat is designed are not usually suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[wp:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]]. See [[#pr|below]] for what to do with those uncommon exceptions.
{{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''.}}
* Add this rcat to a redirect (''not'' a [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to plural}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</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 article title)]]

{{R to plural}}
</pre>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from the [[Grammatical number|singular]] noun of a [[plural]] target. {{tl|R from singular}} redirects here and may also be used.
* '''Important note:'''
** Redirects of this sort exist for reader convenience in cases of singular–plural pairs or false singulars, wherein the plural or plural-looking form is better attested in usage, such that the normal "prefer the singular" Wikipedia naming convention is not followed. This is not a license to create articles against the English-language Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions|naming conventions]], but it is only for those rare cases where the plural is the correct form '''and the singular is not'''. Examples:
*** {{-r|Trouser}}[[File:Redirect arrow without text.svg|35px]][[Trousers]]
*** {{-r|Scissor}}[[File:Redirect arrow without text.svg|35px]][[Scissors]]
** If a singular → plural redirect does not fall within the above description, then consider if [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (plurals)]] would indicate that a page move/rename to the singular title is necessary. The populated category is monitored by contributors who keep track of these to ensure compliance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines.
* {{anchor|pr}}Some singular redirects are printworthy, such as those that are considered as possible article titles over their plural targets. When you add this rcat to a redirect that you decide is printworthy, then use the unnamed parameter to subdue the unprintworthy category in the following manner:
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to plural|1=printworthy}}
{{R with possibilities}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</pre>
: ''or'' the {{code|1{{=}}}} may be omitted:
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to plural|printworthy}}
{{R with possibilities}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</pre>
: and if used individually:
<pre>
{{R to plural|printworthy}}
{{R with possibilities}}
{{R printworthy}}
</pre>
: This will suppress the default {{cat|Unprintworthy redirects}}, and instead add the redirect to the {{C|Printworthy redirects}} and {{C|Redirects with possibilities}} categories. If there is any possibility that the plural target should be moved to the singular redirect's title per the [[WP:PLURAL]] naming guideline, then a [[WP:requested move|requested move]] may be made to rename the plural form to the singular.
