Template:R with old history/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

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

{{Rcat shell|
{{R with old history}}
}}
and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R with old history}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
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:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R with old history}}
This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
  • Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace from a title that is no longer used and is considered a historic part of this Wikipedia project. These redirects are kept to maintain edit history and to avoid breaking links that have been made to the redirect, both internally and externally. See WP:LINKROT.

  • Some redirects with old history may be suitable for a printed version of Wikipedia. The default Unprintworthy redirects category can be subdued and the redirect made to populate Category:Printworthy redirects by use of the unnamed parameter in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R with old history|1=printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
or the 1= may be omitted:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R with old history|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
and if used individually:
{{R with old history|printworthy}}
The unprintworthy sort will be subdued and the redirect will populate the Printworthy redirects category instead.
