* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from duplicated articles}} and, when the redirect is in [[wp:mainspace|main-article]] namespace (mainspace), {{cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} is also populated 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. Redirects from duplicated articles are not suitable for a printed version. In other words such redirects are [[WP:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]].

* Add this rcat to a [[WP:Redirect pages|redirect page]] in the following manner:

<pre>

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Redr|from duplicated article}}

</pre>

: Template {{tl|Redr}} is an alias for the ''This is a redirect'' template, which may be used to add up to seven appropriate rcats to a redirect. For more information see the documentation on its template page and its [[Template:This is a redirect/Comparison|comparison page]]. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

<pre>

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

Line 14 ⟶ 20:

{{R from duplicated article}}

</pre>

: This is in accord with instructions found at [[WPWikipedia:REDCAT]].

* Template {{tl|This is a redirect}} may also be used to add this and up to seven appropriate rcats to a redirect.

* Apply this rcat to a redirected page name that had the same or very similar subject matter as another article or other project page. This must be done in order to preserve the edit-history attributions of the redirect after the content was [[WP:Merging|merged]] into the target page.
