Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
WarningThis template is used on approximately 9,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template will automatically categorize redirects into their appropriate rcat protection category.

Usage

#REDIRECT [[(redirect target)]]

{{R protected}}

This template is also called automatically by {{redirect category shell}}; if that template is used on the page, this template does not need to be included in the redirect cat templates as it will be called directly. A protected page also using {{r from move}} would look like this:

#REDIRECT [[(redirect target)]]

{{Redirect category shell|1=
{{R from move}}
}}

{{redirect category shell}} adds both templates automatically. For another example of this use case, see Wikipedia:Example of a broken redirect.
