Template:R mentioned in hatnote

When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:

Template {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more rcat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation page below.

When used by itself:

• Mentioned in a hatnote: This is a redirect from a title that is mentioned in a hatnote at the redirect target. The mention is usually atop the target article. It may, however, be directly under a section header, or in another article's hatnote, (whenever the hatnote is under a section, {{R to section}} should also be used).
  • The titles of redirects mentioned in hatnotes may refer to a subject other than that of the target page. It is possible that this redirect may need to be retargeted, or become an article under its own title, (see {{R with possibilities}}). If the title is a good candidate for a Wiktionary link, it may also be added.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects mentioned in hatnotes. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R mentioned in hatnote}}
}}

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 page name)]]

{{R mentioned in hatnote}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace from a title that is mentioned in a hatnote either at the top of a page or at the top of a section of a page. While this rcat may be used in any namespace, it must not be used on talk-page redirects unless the talk-page title is used in a hatnote on the target talk page (an unlikely situation).
• This rcat may also be used to tag a redirect mentioned in a hatnote on a different page other than the target page. The |h= parameter of the Rcat shell template may be used to give the page title if it is not the target page.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many redirect titles mentioned in hatnotes are considered printworthy; however, there are many others that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category: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:

• {{R printworthy}} and
• {{R unprintworthy}}

Please click on each one for more details and guidance.

• Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.

Examples:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R mentioned in hatnote}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R mentioned in hatnote}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
