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 shortcut: This is a redirect from a shortcut in any namespace to a page in any namespace except template namespace.
Shortcuts are wikilinked on community pages, talk pages, and edit summaries, but not in mainspace articles.
This redirect category (rcat) template populates വർഗ്ഗം:Redirects from shortcuts and, when the shortcut is in main-article namespace (mainspace), then വർഗ്ഗം:Unprintworthy redirects is also populated. At some point in the future, Jimmy Wales wants to make more printed versions of Wikipedia encyclopedia articles. Aliases/shortcuts in mainspace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.
Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]{{R from shortcut}}
This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
Template {{This is a redirect}} may also be used to add this and up to seven appropriate rcats to a redirect.
Use this rcat on any redirect from a Wikipedia (WP:, MOS:, etc.) shortcut. Shortcuts are historically reserved for Wikipedia project pages, their discussion and help pages, and categories, and they are now used in all namespaces. If the redirect is a shortcut to the template namespace and the redirect itself is in any namespace, then use {{R from template shortcut}} instead of {{R from shortcut}}. It is the target page that determines this, so if a redirect is in the template namespace and targets a page in any other namespace, then it is not a template shortcut and should be tagged with this rcat, {{R from shortcut}}.
