Revision as of 15:35, 29 April 2024
This is a list of maintenance templates which are used to categorize redirect pages.
It is considered helpful to put redirects into categories where appropriate, see Wikipedia:Categorizing redirects. For pages which should ultimately be handled by a full article, add both {{R with possibilities}}
and one or more stub sorting templates to draw attention to the needed article.
Redirect templates are designed to be used together. For example, the redirect "Architechts" uses both {{R from misspelling}}
and {{R from plural}}
. {{Redirect category shell}}
can be used to group multiple templates on a single page by listing the appropriate redirect templates as its parameter (similar to {{WikiProject banner shell}} and {{Multiple issues}}).
Hidden categories
Most of the categories populated by redirect category (rcat) templates are hidden categories. Hidden categories cannot be seen by viewers who are not logged in, nor by editors who have not set their preferences to view them. So if you have tagged a redirect with an rcat and saved the redirect, but you cannot see the category, the first thing to check is if you have set your preferences to view hidden cats:
- Go to Preferences → Appearance
- Scroll down to Advanced options
- Check the box Show hidden categories
- Click Save
You may need to purge your browser cache to ensure that you can see hidden cats in the future.
Printworthy vs. unprintworthy
Some rcats place a redirect in either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Other rcats do not, which means that it is up to editors to choose to the best of their knowledge which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that can be used separately to populate those categories are:
{{R printworthy}}
and{{R unprintworthy}}
For more information follow the links.
List of redirects by function
Each and every rcat template in the following functional index is also found in the above navbar, which is used as a reference on all rcat pages. Changes made to the navbar must also be made below, and vice versa.

Alphanumeric listing
- Look for "significant" words, because in this listing the leading "R" and the words "for, from, to and with" are ignored except when the subjects are identical (e.g.
R from acronym
andR to acronym
). To make them easier to find, some rcats are listed more than once. For example, {{R from postal abbreviation}} will be found with the "P" group as well as with the "A" group. - Printability (in mainspace only) keys for third column of table:
- Printable – rcat will populate {{R printworthy}} by default
- Hard = cannot be altered
- Soft = can be altered to unprintworthy by a parameter
- Unprintable – rcat will populate {{R unprintworthy}} by default
- Hard = cannot be altered
- Soft = can be altered to printworthy by a parameter
- No default – editors manually choose printability of redirects
- N/A – non-applicable – rcat is not used in mainspace or it is deprecated

Notes
- {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more appropriate redirect category (rcat) templates to redirects. Click the template link and read its documentation page for more information. Also, see its comparison page, which illustrates its differences with individual rcat tagging.
- For talk pages, there are only certain rcats that should be used. The only rcats that apply to pages in the talk namespaces are {{R from alternative name}}, {{R from shortcut}}, and those associated with moves, merges, disambiguations and cross-namespace redirects. For more information, read the templates' documentation pages. See also {{Talk page of redirect}}.
- If a redirect is tagged incorrectly, for example, if an editor places a mainspace-only rcat on a redirect in another namespace, the redirect will not be sorted into the expected category. Instead, the redirect may be sorted into Category:Pages with incorrectly transcluded templates or its subcategory Pages with templates in the wrong namespace, categories that should remain empty.
- When rcats are used to categorize image-file redirects, the category(ies) may not appear on the redirect page after saving even if they appeared on preview, and even if preferences are set to view hidden categories. Yet the image-file redirect will still populate the category(ies). For example, in Category:Redirects from moves under the section heading Media in category "Redirects from moves", many image-file redirects have been correctly categorized, and yet for example
{{Rcat shell|{{R from move}}{{R from short name}}}}'s
categories may not appear on the image-file redirect's page. Hidden categories on image-file redirects can be detected by clicking on "Page information" in the Tools menu on the sidebar.
