__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from short names}}. Add this rcat to a [[WP:Redirect pages|redirect page]] in the following manner:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from short name}}
}}
</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 short name}}
</pre>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[WP:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any redirect title that is a shortened form of a full article title '''or''' a shorter form of a person's full name. Also use for ''incomplete'' names and titles, such as "{{-r|East End}}".
* If appropriate, for example the redirect is a person's name, be sure to follow [[Wikipedia:Sort key]] and use {{tl|DEFAULTSORT}}, with a colon ( ''':''' ) ''not'' a pipe ( '''|''' ), to sort by the person's "[[surname]]" in the categories.
* For [[abbreviation]]s and [[initialism]]s, such as "{{-r|UN}}", use {{tl|R from initialism}} '''instead''' (unless the initials redirect to a person's name – then use this template, ''R from short name'').

=== Printworthiness ===
* In [[wp:mainspace|main-article namespace]], many shorter-named redirects to longer-named titles are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are thought to be printworthy, so there is no default sort for [[wp:printworthiness|printworthiness]]. 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}}. Some rcats automatically populate either {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} or {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} by default. Others, like this rcat, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, ''Printworthy'' or ''Unprintworthy'', is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used separately to populate those categories are:
:* {{tlx|R printworthy}} and
:* {{tlx|R unprintworthy}}
: Please click on each one for more details and guidance.
* Template {{tl|Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.
:: '''Examples:'''
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from short name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from short name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</pre>
: Either {{tl|Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{tl|Rcat shell}}, may be used.
