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:

• From an alternative name in comics: This is a redirect from a title that is another name or identity, a pseudonym, a nickname, or a synonym of the comic book character detailed in the target article.
  • In accordance with the Manual of Style (comics) guidelines, when the target article becomes too big, this redirect may be replaced with an article carved out of the target page after discussion on the target talk page.
  • For redirects created after page moves due to compliance with naming conventions for comics, see {{R comics naming convention}}.
  • Do not replace these redirected links with a link directly to the target page.

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Comics redirects from alternative names and Category:Printworthy redirects by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Mainspace redirects from comics alternative names are suitable for a printed version. In other words they are printworthy.

Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia.

• Place this rcat on a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R comics from alternative name}}
{{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 comics from alternative name}}

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

• Use this rcat on all mainspace redirects from a title for an alternative name of the comic book character detailed in the target article. An example is Peter ParkerSpider-Man
