Template:R to project namespace/doc

Purpose

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

1. Category:Redirects to project space – for pseudo-namespace redirects (PNRs) (for example, MOS:) and cross-namespace redirects (CNRs), or
2. Category:Redirects to OODA WIKI project pages – for project namespace redirects (for example, OODA WIKI: or its shortcut, WP:) to other project pages

This rcat template also populates the following:

 3. Category:Unprintworthy redirects – only redirects from 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 OODA WIKI project namespace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words, they are unprintworthy.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace including project (OODA WIKI) namespace.

• Apply this rcat template to a redirect page by using the following wikitext:

#REDIRECT [[OODA WIKI:(target page name)]]

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

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

#REDIRECT [[OODA WIKI:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to project namespace}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

Template {{Rcat shell}} is an alias for the Redirect category shell template, which may be used to add as many appropriate rcat templates and their parameters as needed to a redirect, usually from one to seven. For more information, see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

#REDIRECT [[OODA WIKI:(target page name)]]

{{R to project namespace}}

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

• Use this rcat template to tag any redirect page to a page in the project (OODA WIKI: or WP:) namespace, whether the redirect page itself is in project namespace or in any other namespace. These redirect pages will automatically be sorted as either inside or outside of project namespace.
