When not to use this template: typo

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

{{Substitution|not|nor used to tag [[Wikipedia:Soft redirects|soft redirects]]}}
__NOTOC__
== Usage ==
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects to subpages}}. Add this rcat to a [[WP:Redirects|redirect]] in the following manner:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(full target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to subpage}}
}}
</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 [[(full target page name)]]

{{R to subpage}}
</pre>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* With exceptions noted below, use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace that targets the [[WP:Subpages|subpage]] of another page. An example is:
** {{-r|Wikipedia:Technical move requests}}[[File:Redirect arrow without text.svg|35px]][[Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests]],
:: which is a subpage of [[Wikipedia:Requested moves]].

=== When not to use this template ===
Please note that not every page title with "/" in its title is a subpage. This rcat template does not need to be used on redirects that contain this character if they are:
*To an encyclopedia article (articles do not have subpages).
*To a ''Wikipedia: Manual of Style'' guideline (they are all guidelines in their own right; while they are arranged hierarchically as part of the Manual of Style "virtual book", they are stand-alone documents and are not subpages of [[WP:MOS]], albeit subordinate to it as a matter of [[WP:POLICY]] authority).
*To a subpage after a move from an older subpage name (there is probably no utility at all in cataloguing "Template:FooBar/doc" with more rcats than "from move" if the page was moved to "Template:BarFoo/doc" following the move of the parent template).
It also should not be used for redirects to "conceptually subordinate" pages that do not have "/" in their names, such as:
* Templates that pertain to a wikiproject but are not subpages under it.
* Narrow-topic articles that were [[WP:SPLIT]] from a more general article, per [[WP:SUMMARY]].
* Naming convention guidelines, like [[WP:Naming conventions (people)]]; although supplements to the [[WP:Article titles]] policy, they are not subpages of it in any useful sense.

=== Good uses for this template ===
Some examples:
* When a ''WP:...'' shortcut goes to a page that is primarily intended for and used as a transclusion (e.g. [[Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/FAQ]], a talk page header that is also sometimes linked to as a separate page)
* When a ''Template:...'' redirect exists to a template that is mostly used as, and structured as a sub-template module of a larger meta-template.
* When a ''Wikipedia:...'' redirect exists at the former or easily misremembered location of, or a ''WP:...'' shortcut goes to, something that is presently a sub-process of something else (e.g. [[Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement]] and [[WP:AE]], which redirect to [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement]])

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

== Printworthiness ==
{{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''.}}
* In [[wp:mainspace|main-article namespace]] there are very few subpages. Higher-level titles that are redirected to subpages may be considered printworthy or unprintworthy, 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 to subpage}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

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