Template:R from related word

From TechInfoDepot
Jump to navigationJump to search
  • This is a redirect from a word (or phrase) to a page title that is related in some way. This redirect might be a good candidate for a Wiktionary link. For more information follow the category link.
    • Redirects from related words are not properly redirects from alternative spellings of the same word. They are also different than redirects from a subtopic or related topic, since a related word is unlikely to warrant a full subtopic in the target page, or to have the possibility of ever becoming an article.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R from related word}}
This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
  • Template {{This is a redirect}} may also be used to add this and up to seven appropriate rcats to a redirect.
  • Use this rcat on any redirect to a target page title that is a related word or phrase. Related words might be good candidates for Wiktionary links. They are different from related topics in that a topic may someday have its own article, while a related word or phrase likely will not.

Aliases

Printworthiness

  • In main-article namespace, many redirects from related words are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are printworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. At some point in the future, Jimmy Wales wants to make more printed versions of TechInfoDepot encyclopedia articles. 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:

Examples:
{{Redr|from related word|printworthy}}
{{Redr|from related word|unprintworthy}}
Either {{This is a redirect}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Redr}}, may be used.
