Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from more specific geographic names by default. Add this rcat to a redirect, not a talk-page redirect, in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from name and country}}
}}

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 name and country}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a geographic location that includes the location's country name to an article about the location. These redirects are mainly used to conform with Wikipedia naming conventions for articles about geographic locations.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many redirects from locations that include the country name are considered printworthy; however, there are many others that are unprintworthy, 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 and any other rcats:

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from name and country}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from name and country}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
