When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:
- 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 a list topic: This is a redirect from the topic of a list to the equivalent list. It is not necessary to replace links to this redirect with a piped link to the target page.
- For redirects to a specific entry in a list use {{R to list entry}} instead.
- If the redirect topic is detailed enough to sustain its own article, then use {{R with possibilities}} in addition. If notability of the subject can be shown, then be bold and convert this redirect into an article on the topic.

Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from list topics and, when added to a redirect in the main-article namespace (mainspace), it also sorts it to Category:Printworthy redirects. 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 list topics to their associated lists are suitable for a printed version. In other words they are printworthy.
- Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from list topic}}
}}
- and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from list topic}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
- 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 list topic}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace from the topic of a list to the equivalent list page or article, for example:
- If the redirect topic is detailed enough to sustain its own article, then use {{R with possibilities}} in addition. If notability of the subject can be shown, then be bold and convert the redirect into an article on the topic.
