Template:R to monotypic taxon
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:
- To a monotypic taxon: This is a redirect from the only lower-ranking member of a monotypic taxon to its monotypic taxon. In a biology-related article, when for example a genus has only one species, the binomial name may be a redirect to the genus.
- Use {{R from monotypic taxon}} instead when making a redirect from a monotypic taxon to its only member, for example, from a family name to its sole genus.
 | This template is used on approximately 14,000 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. |
 | Any breaking changes to this template, including moving it or nominating it for deletion, must be communicated in advance to Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle. The standard installation of Twinkle relies on this template. Thank you. |
Usage
[edit]- This rcat template populates Category:Redirects to monotypic taxa by default. Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to monotypic taxon}}
}}
- 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 article title)]]
{{R to monotypic taxon}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from the only lower-ranking member of a monotypic taxon to its monotypic parent taxon. In a biology-related article, when for example a genus has only one species, the binomial name may redirect to that genus.
- Use {{R from monotypic taxon}} when making a redirect from a monotypic taxon to its only member, for example, from a family name to its sole genus.
- An unnamed parameter may be used to specify more precisely the kind of organism involved and to sort the article in the appropriate subcategory. At present the four possible sorts are:
{{Rcat shell|{{R to monotypic taxon}}}}- populates Category:Redirects to monotypic taxa
{{Rcat shell|{{R to monotypic taxon|plant}}}}- sorts the redirect to Category:Redirects to monotypic taxa of plants
{{Rcat shell|{{R to monotypic taxon|fish}}}}- sorts the redirect to Category:Redirects to monotypic taxa of fish
{{Rcat shell|{{R to monotypic taxon|fungus}}}}- sorts the redirect to Category:Redirects to monotypic taxa of fungi
{{Rcat shell|{{R to monotypic taxon|spider}}}}- sorts the redirect to Category:Redirects to monotypic taxa of spiders
{{Rcat shell|{{R to monotypic taxon|crustacean}}}}- sorts the redirect to Category:Redirects to monotypic taxa of crustaceans
{{Rcat shell|{{R to monotypic taxon|reptile}}}}- sorts the redirect to Category:Redirects to monotypic taxa of reptiles
{{Rcat shell|{{R to monotypic taxon|insect}}}}- sorts the redirect to Category:Redirects to monotypic taxa of insects
- Other parameter values and subcategories may be added.

Printworthiness
[edit] | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of any 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. |
- In main-article namespace, many redirects to monotypic taxa are printworthy; however, there are others that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness.
- In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category: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:
{{R printworthy}}and{{R unprintworthy}}
- Please click on each one for more details and guidance.
- Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these and any other rcats:
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R to monotypic taxon}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R to monotypic taxon}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
