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 Middle-earth list entry: This is a redirect from the name of a Middle-earth "minor topic" to a list article, or list section of an article, that covers that topic.
- Links to list entries should use this redirect and should not be piped with the target pagename. This allows "What links here" pages to be used to identify the links to the individual sections, e.g., compare "What links here" for Old Took with "What links here" for List of hobbits.
- When more appropriate use {{R ME to section}} instead.
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage
[edit]- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Middle-earth redirects to lists. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)#(target list entry section/anchor)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R ME to list entry}}
}}
- Either {{R ME to section}} or {{R to anchor}} should also be used.
- 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)#(target list entry section/anchor)]]
{{R ME to list entry}}
- Again, either {{R ME to section}} or {{R to anchor}} should also be used.
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any Middle-earth mainspace redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry…
- Use if there is no separate article on the subject, and the subject is included in a list, either:
- in a Middle-earth article entitled "List of …", or
- a section of a Middle-earth article either:
- titled a list; or
- containing entries that are not themselves sections. Also use
{{R to anchor}}where appropriate.
- For a redirect to an article section about the subject use the
{{R ME to section}}rcat instead.

Printworthiness
[edit] | 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. |
- In main-article namespace, many list-entry redirects are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that might become articles and are printworthy, 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 rcats just like any other.
- Examples:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R ME to list entry}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Rcat shell|
{{R ME to list entry}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
