* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from transliterations}} and {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} by default. At some point in the future, [[Jimmy Wales]] wants to make more <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Pushing_to_1.0&oldid=1319195 printed versions]</span> of ''Wikipedia'' encyclopedia articles.
