__NOTOC__

=== Purpose ===

This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template sorts redirectsredirect pages into one of two categories:

# {{Cat|Redirects to project space}} – for [[WP:PNR|PNRpseudo-namespace redirects (PNRs)]]s (for example, MOS:) and [[WP:CNR|CNRcross-namespace redirects (CNRs)]]s, or

# {{Cat|Redirects to Wikipedia project pages}} – for [[WP:Project namespace|project namespace]] redirects (for example, Wikipedia:) redirectsor its shortcut, WP:) to other project pages

This rcat template also populates the following:

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

:* In 2003, efforts were begun to support the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]'s goal of increasing access and availability of ''Wikipedia'' articles in {{diff|Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0||1319195|printed versions}}. Mainspace redirects that target pages in the Wikipedia project namespace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words, they are [[wp:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]].

=== Usage ===

{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]] including [[wp:Project namespace|project (Wikipedia)]] namespace'''.}}

* Apply this rcat template to a redirect inpage by using the following manner[[wikitext]]:

<pre>

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

Line 32 ⟶ 33:

}}

</pre>

: Template {{tl|Rcat shell}} is an alias for the ''Redirect category shell'' template, which may be used to add as many appropriate rcatsrcat templates and their parameters as needed to a redirect, usually from one to seven, along with their parameters, to a redirect. For more information, see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

<pre>

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

Line 39 ⟶ 40:

</pre>

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

* Use this rcat template to tag any redirect page to a page in the [[wp:project namespace|project (Wikipedia: or WP:)]] namespace]], whether the redirect page itself is in project namespace or in any other namespace. These redirectsredirect pages will automatically be sorted as either inside or outside of project namespace.
