Template:R to talk page/doc

Purpose
This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into the following categories:
 * 1)  – for pseudo-namespace and cross-namespace redirects, and
 * 2)  – only redirects from the main-article namespace (mainspace)
 * In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in .  Mainspace redirects that target pages in the talk namespace are not suitable for a printed version.  In other words they are unprintworthy.

This rcat is should not be used to tag redirects that are in any talk namespace. If placed on a talk-page redirect, it will not populate the expected category(ies); the redirect will instead be sorted to.

Usage

 * Apply this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
 * 1) REDIRECT (full target talk page name)


 * and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:


 * 1) REDIRECT (full target talk page name)


 * 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:


 * 1) REDIRECT (full target talk page name)


 * This is in accord with instructions found at REDCAT.


 * Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a page outside of the talk namespaces to any page in any of the talk namespaces. This rcat should never be used on any redirect that is itself in any talk namespace.  Examples of talk pages are:
 * Talk:Thomas Paine
 * User talk:Jimbo Wales
 * Wikipedia talk:Editing policy
