Line 8:

# {{Cat|Redirects to user namespace}} – for [[WP:CNR|cross-namespace redirects]], and

# {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} – only redirects from the [[wp:Main namespace|main-article namespace]] (mainspace)

:*: At some point in the future, [[Jimmy Wales]] wants to make more {{diff|Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0||1319195|printed versions}} of ''Wikipedia'' encyclopedia articles. Mainspace redirects that target pages in the user namespace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[wp:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]].

This rcat is '''''not''''' for use on redirects that are in the user namespace. If placed on a redirect that is a user page, it will not populate the expected categories; it will instead be sorted to {{Cat|Pages with templates in the wrong namespace}}.

Line 15:

* Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

<pre>

#REDIRECT [[User:(target page name)]]

{{Redr|to user namespace}}

</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, along with their parameters, 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 [[User:(target page name)]]

Line 21 ⟶ 27:

</pre>

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

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

* Use this rcat on all redirects to a page in the user namespace from a page ''outside'' of the user namespace. This rcat should ''never'' be used on a redirect in the user namespace that targets any other page.

:: ''As noted, this rcat may be used to categorize a user '''talk''' -page redirect that targets a user page, however it should '''never''' be used to '''target''' a user talk page nor '''any''' talk page.''
