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:
From an alternative translation: This is a redirect from an alternative English
translation to a more common variation. The prevalent translation is given by the target of the redirect.
When appropriate,
protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
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 an alternative translation: This is a redirect from an alternative English
translation to a more common variation. The prevalent translation is given by the target of the redirect.
Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.
This redirect category (
rcat) template populates
Category:Redirects from alternative translations and
Category:Unprintworthy redirects 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 from less common translations are generally not suitable for a printed version, especially if they are mostly equivalent to the more common translation other than word order or form. In other words they are
unprintworthy. Some translations are printworthy, in which case the printworthy= parameter can be set to yes.
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.
#REDIRECT[[(target article title)]]{{Rcat shell|{{R from alternative translation}}{{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 article title)]]{{R from alternative translation}}
Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect that is a less common
translation of the target or an associated spelling. If this rcat is used for a spelling that is associated with the target, and yet is not the target itself, then the unnamed parameter may be used as follows:
{{Rcat shell|{{R from alternative translation|(associated spelling)}}{{R unprintworthy}}}}
or if applied individually:
{{R from alternative translation|(associated spelling)}}
That will alter the wording to, "The prevalent spelling is (associated spelling)."
For
printworthy translations, use printworthy=yes:
{{Rcat shell|{{R from alternative translation|printworthy=yes}}{{R printworthy}}}}
