Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.
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.
  • Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from plural}}
{{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 from plural}}
This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
  • Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from the plural noun of a singular target.
  • For redirects that target a related word or phrase, the |of= parameter can be used to clarify. For example, the Domestic cats redirect targets Cat and is tagged as follows:
{{R from plural|of=domestic cat}}
The text will then be altered to include, ...from a plural noun to its singular form or to a broader article; the singular form is "domestic cat".
  • Some plurals are printworthy, for example the Arabic and Latin forms. When you add this rcat to a redirect that you decide is printworthy, then use the unnamed parameter to subdue the unprintworthy category[clarification needed] in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from plural|1=printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
or the 1= may be omitted:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from plural|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
and if used individually:
{{R from plural|printworthy}}
This will suppress the default Unprintworthy redirects category and instead add the redirect to Category:Printworthy redirects.
