  2. Category:Redirects to help pagesHelp namespace redirects to Help pages

This rcat also populates the following:

At some point in the future, Jimmy Wales wants to make more printed versions of Wikipedia encyclopedia articles. Redirects from mainspace that target pages in the help namespace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words, they are unprintworthy.

Usage

  • Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[Help:(target page name)]]

{{R to help namespace}}
This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
  • Template {{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 help namespace from any redirect, whether it is in the help namespace or not. These redirects will automatically be sorted as either inside or outside the help namespace.
  • See Wikipedia:WikiProject Redirect/Style guide for details on redirect page layout.
