Template:R from upcoming film

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:

• Upcoming films: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
  • {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
  • When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Redirects from upcoming films.
  • When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
  • If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
  • Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page.

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from upcoming films. This rcat also formats the title of the film in italics on the redirect page. See below for those rare instances when this function must be subdued.
• Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from upcoming film}}
}}

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 upcoming film}}

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

• Use this rcat on any mainspace redirect from a film title that is a subtopic of its target or a title in an alternative language that has been produced in that language.
• Occasionally, a film title might require the use of {{DISPLAYTITLE}} or {{Italic title}} with its |string= parameter to format the title of the redirect. In those cases the default italic title will interfere with that format and must be subdued. When this rcat tags a redirect from within the Rcat shell template, this is done in the following manner:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from upcoming film|1=noitalic}}
}}

or the 1= may be omitted:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from upcoming film|noitalic}}
}}

and if used individually:

{{R from upcoming film|noitalic}}

That will subdue the default italic title so no title-display conflict will result.
