__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates the following categories by default:
** When the redirect is in [[wp:mainspace|mainspace]], {{cat|Redirects with old history}} and {{cat|Unprintworthy redirects}}
** In any other [[wp:namespace|namespace]], {{Cat|Redirects from subpages}}
: In 2003, efforts were begun to support the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]'s goal of increasing access and availability of ''Wikipedia'' articles in {{diff|Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0||1319195|printed versions}}. Mainspace redirects from subpages are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[wp:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]]. In early versions of ''Wikipedia'', subpages in mainspace were used to hold subtopics of their main articles. At present, subpages are no longer used for that purpose. These redirects are kept to maintain edit history and to avoid breaking links that have been made to the redirect, both internally and externally.
* Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subpage}}
}}
</pre>
: and ''when the redirect is in article mainspace'', printworthiness should also be tagged:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subpage}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</pre>
: Template {{tl|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:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R from subpage}}
</pre>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace from a title that includes a [[solidus (punctuation)|solidus]] (/); for example, from a subpage of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket]]:
** {{-r|Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Articles}}[[File:Redirect arrow without text.svg|35px]][[Template:CricketRecentChanges]]
** From mainspace, {{-r|Algeria/Military}}[[File:Redirect arrow without text.svg|35px]][[Algerian People's National Armed Forces]]

==== Aliases ====
* <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:R_from_subpage|hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&limit=500}} Also known as...]</span> – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used

=== See also ===
* {{tl|R from CamelCase}}
* {{tl|R from historic name}}
* {{tl|R from subtopic}}
* {{tl|R to subpage}}
* {{tl|R with old history}}
