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 shortcut: This is a redirect from a shortcut in any namespace to a page in any namespace except template namespace.
Documentation icon Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

is in main-article namespace (mainspace), then Category:Unprintworthy redirects is also populated by default.
Aliases/shortcuts in mainspace are not suitable for a printed version.
In other words they are unprintworthy.
  • Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R from shortcut}}
This is in accord with instructions found at Special: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 from a TechInfoDepot (WP:, MOS:, etc.) shortcut. Shortcuts are historically reserved
for TechInfoDepot project pages, their discussion and help pages, and categories, and they are now used in all namespaces.
If the redirect is a shortcut to the template namespace and the redirect itself
is in any namespace, then use {{R from template shortcut}} instead of Template:R from shortcut (talk links edit).
It is the target page that determines this, so if a redirect is in the template namespace and targets
a page in any other namespace, then it is not a template shortcut and should be tagged with Template:R from shortcut (talk links edit).
