Usage[edit source]

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)#(target anchor name)]]

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

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to anchor}}
{{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)#(target anchor name)]]

{{R to anchor}}
This is in accord with instructions found at Starfleet:REDCAT.
  • This rcat is used whenever a redirect targets an embedded {{anchor}} on a page, a <span id=(anchor)> ... </span> element or the id= attribute within tables. A redirect may target an anchor that covers a particular term that has insufficient independent scope and notability to warrant its own section, much less an entire article, and the term is nonetheless important within the field and is useful to link from other articles in the field of expertise. Such redirects allow a reader to search and find useful information about the term and similar related material in the defining article.
  • Also use this rcat to tag redirects that target old section headers that have been replaced and anchored to prevent broken internal and external links.
  • A few anchor redirects are printworthy; for example, when a {{Redirect with possibilities}} of one day becoming an article is categorized, then the redirect title will be sorted to the Printworthy category. When you add R to anchor to a redirect that is printworthy, then use the first parameter to subdue the unprintworthy category in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to anchor|printworthy}}
{{R with possibilities}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
or if applied individually:
{{R to anchor|printworthy}}
Both of the above will suppress "unprintworthy" and will add the redirect to Category:Printworthy redirects. It is very important to note that when this rcat is used with the R with possibilities rcat, the printworthy parameter must be used and the unprintworthy subdued or else the redirect will populate both Printworthy and Unprintworthy categories, an undesirable situation.
  • Please use the following rcats when more appropriate:
{{R to list entry}}, which populates Category:Redirects to list entries
{{R to section}}, which populates Category:Redirects to sections
