• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from duplicated articles. Add this template to a redirect page in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[Target page name]] {{R from duplicated article}}

This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.

• Template {{This is a redirect}} may also be used to add this and up to six appropriate rcats to a redirect.
• This rcat is to be used on an article that has been kept as a redirect to another article on the same or very similar subject matter. This is in order to preserve the redirect's edit history after the content was merged into the target article.
• This rcat sorts mainspace article redirects into Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. At some point in the future, Jimmy Wales wants to make a printed version of the full Wikipedia encyclopedia, and redirects from duplicated articles are not suitable for a printed version. In other words such redirects are unprintworthy.
