Template:R from diacritic
When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:
This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
|
- Template {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more rcat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information, see the documentation page below.
When used by itself:
- From the same page name with diacritics: This is a redirect from a page name that has diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, etc.) to essentially the same page name without those marks or a "List of..." page anchored to a promising list item name without diacritics.
- Apply this redirect (without piping) when the subject page concerns language translation or foreign language equivalents. Other pages that use this redirect should be updated with a direct link to the redirect target (again, without piping).
- Sort these redirects with {{DEFAULTSORT:(title without diacritics)}} and be sure to use a colon ( : ) rather than a pipe ( | ) to access the magic word directly.
- This rcat can also be used on redirects to sections and anchors to indicate the diacritics version of a term/name written both ways.
 | This template is used on approximately 9,800 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
Preview message: Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
Usage
[edit]- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from titles with diacritics and, if the redirect is in main-article namespace (mainspace), Category:Unprintworthy redirects is also populated by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Mainspace redirects from titles with diacritics are frequently unsuitable for a printed version. In other words they are usually unprintworthy. See below for what to do for those few redirects with diacritical marks that are considered printworthy.
 | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia. |
- Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from diacritic}}
}}
- and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from diacritic}}
{{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)]]
{{R from diacritic}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat on any redirect with diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, etc.) to essentially the same page name that does not have diacritical marks.
- By default, this template places redirects in the Unprintworthy redirects category. To tag and categorize a redirect as "printworthy", type the addition
printworthyin the following manner:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from diacritic|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
- or
{{R from diacritic|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
- That will suppress the unprintworthy category and place the redirect in Category:Printworthy redirects.
Sorting in the category
[edit]Sort these redirects with {{DEFAULTSORT:(title without diacritics)}}. That will make these redirects much easier to find in the Redirects from titles with diacritics category. Be sure to use a colon ( : ) rather than a pipe ( | } after "DEFAULTSORT" in order to directly access the magic word.
