Usage

Use this redirect category (rcat) template for any redirect that, in your opinion, may stand alone as an article on a notable subject or a template. If you see a redirect with this template, and you are moved to write the article, then be BOLD!
- For guidance on how to start a new page from a section, please see Wikipedia:Summary style. It is important that the topic is notable in accordance with the guideline, and that the article is structured in line with the manual of style; otherwise there is a possibility the article will be re-merged and turned back into a redirect.
Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R with possibilities}}
{{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 with possibilities}}

This is in accord with the instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.

If a redirect in template namespace is tagged with this rcat, then Category:Template redirects with possibilities is populated.
If a redirect is in categoryspace, then use {{R category with possibilities}} instead of this rcat.
If a redirect is in any other namespace, then this rcat populates Category:Redirects with possibilities and,
When a redirect is in the main-article namespace (mainspace), Category:Printworthy 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

REDIRECT w:Template:Diff. Mainspace redirects that may become articles someday are suitable for a printed version of this encyclopedia. In other words they are printworthy.

Template:Info

Note: It is possible that a redirect from a misspelling may also be the correct spelling of a different subject with possibilities. An example is Template:-rJim Blyth. However, do not intentionally link to redirects from misspellings. Use a disambiguated title such as Jim Blythe (author), until the possibilities of an article about the author are actually realized. See {{R typo}} for more information.

Draft articles

When a draft exists in draftspace, this rcat will sense it and notify anyone who reads the redirect page with the following:

This is a redirect from a title that is in draft namespace at Draft:(name of page), so please do not create an article from this redirect (unless moving a ready draft here). You are welcome to improve the draft article while it is being considered for inclusion in article namespace. If the draft link is also a redirect, then you may boldly turn that redirect into a draft article.

That text only appears if there is an actual link either to an aspiring article in draftspace or a redirect from draftspace. If one of those is the case, then the following category will also be populated:

Category:Redirects with draftspace articles

Links to redirects tagged with this template

If a page wikilinks to a redirect tagged with this template, do not replace it with a direct link to the target page, as a more specific article may be created on the (currently) redirecting page. However, redirects targeting a redirect with possibilities should be changed, as they violate the WP:2R policy, and should then be tagged as {{r avoided double redirect|}}.
