#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from sort name|1=(sortkey)|2=(sortkey)}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
- 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:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{R from sort name|1=(sortkey)|2=(sortkey)}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
Parameters
- As shown above, two category sortkeys should be added whenever this rcat tags a redirect. The first parameter's sortkey is the first letter of the redirect title. For example, on the redirect Roberts, Julia the first sortkey is "R" (sortkeys are always in uppercase capital letters, please). The second parameter's sortkey is the first letter of the target article, in this case Julia Roberts, so the second sortkey is "J". Please remember to include these sortkeys. This example would appear as follows:
- Roberts, Julia (page title of redirect)
#REDIRECT [[Julia Roberts]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from sort name|R|J}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
- In this example, the redirect populates the following categories:
