Template:R with old history
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:
- With old history: This is a redirect from a page that was from a historic version of this Wikipedia project.
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage
[edit]- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects with old history and, when the redirect is in mainspace, then 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. Redirects with old history are not usually suitable for a printed version. In other words such redirects are unprintworthy. Please see below for what to do with those few redirects with old history that are printable.
 | 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 with old history}}
}}
- and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R with old history}}
{{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 with old history}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace from a title that is no longer used and is considered a historic part of this Wikipedia project. These redirects are kept to maintain edit history and to avoid breaking links that have been made to the redirect, both internally and externally. See WP:LINKROT.
- Some redirects with old history may be suitable for a printed version of Wikipedia. The default Unprintworthy redirects category can be subdued and the redirect made to populate Category:Printworthy redirects by use of the unnamed parameter in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R with old history|1=printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
- or the
1=may be omitted:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R with old history|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
- and if used individually:
{{R with old history|printworthy}}
- The unprintworthy sort will be subdued and the redirect will populate the Printworthy redirects category instead.
