Template:R from gerund

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 a gerund: This is a redirect from a gerund (or gerund phrase), a verb form that ends with "ing" and that functions as a noun, to a related part of speech or topic.

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from gerunds. Add this rcat to a redirect page, not a talk page, in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from gerund}}
}}

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 gerund}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a gerund or gerund phrase to a related word(s), such as the same root word in the form of a different part of speech.
• If a gerund redirect is not in mainspace, then it should not be tagged with this rcat. If a gerund in another namespace is tagged with this rcat, then the redirect will not populate the correct category and will instead be sorted to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.

Printworthiness

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.

• In main-article namespace, many gerund redirects to related words are considered unprintworthy; however, there may be others that are thought to be printworthy, 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 from gerund}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from gerund}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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