Template:R to draft namespace/doc

Purpose

This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into two categories:

1. Category:Redirects to the draft namespace – for cross-namespace redirects, and
2. Category:Unprintworthy redirects – only redirects from the main-article namespace (mainspace)

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 that target pages in the draft namespace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.

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.

This rcat is not for use on redirects that are in draft namespace. If placed on a draft-article redirect, it will not populate the expected categories; it will instead be sorted to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace except draft-article namespace (draftspace).

• Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to draft namespace}}
}}

and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to draft namespace}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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 to draft namespace}}

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

• Use this rcat on all redirects from outside the draft namespace to an article title in draftspace. This rcat should never be used to tag any redirect that is in draftspace.

Parameter

This rcat takes one unnamed parameter for use when the draft article is titled differently than the redirect:

• |1=(draft article title)

Do not include the "Draft:" prefix in the draft article title.

Aliases
