Template:R to portal namespace/doc

Purpose

This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into one of two categories:

1. Category:Redirects to portal space – for PNRs and CNRs, or
2. Category:Redirects to portals – for portal redirects to other portal pages

This rcat also populates the following:

• Category:Unprintworthy redirects – 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 OODA WIKI articles in printed versions. Mainspace redirects that target pages in the portal namespace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace including portal namespace.

Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[Portal:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to portal namespace}}
}}

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

#REDIRECT [[Portal:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to portal namespace}}
{{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 [[Portal:(target page name)]]

{{R to portal namespace}}

This is in accord with instructions found at OODA WIKI:REDCAT.

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace (including the portal namespace) that targets a page in the portal namespace. This rcat will automatically sort redirects as either inside or outside the portal namespace.
