Template:R from member/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from members and Category:Printworthy redirects. Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace from a person who is a member of a group to a general, related topic, such as the group name, organization, ensemble, or team to which the person belongs. It is for members of groups that have members. Use {{R from person}} or one of its more specific aliases instead of this rcat template for executives, employees, even boardmembers (who generally redirect to an article on an organization not to an article about a board of directors of an organization).

In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Mainspace redirects from a member are usually suitable for a printed version. In other words they are printworthy. See below for those instances when a redirect from a member is unprintworthy.

Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner, in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from member}}
}}

Template {{Rcat shell}} is an alias for the Redirect category shell template, which may be used to add as many appropriate rcats as needed, 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, without {{rcat shell}}, but this is deprecated:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R from member}}

• Most of these redirects are considered printworthy, so this rcat also populates Category:Printworthy redirects by default. There are some redirects from members that are not considered notable and printworthy, so when you add this rcat to a redirect that you decide is unprintworthy, then use the unnamed parameter to subdue the Printworthy redirects category in the following manner:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from member|1=unprintworthy}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

or the 1= may be omitted:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from member|unprintworthy}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

and when used individually:

{{R from member|unprintworthy}}

That will subdue the Printworthy redirects category and will add the redirect to Category:Unprintworthy redirects.
