Template:R to user namespace

When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:

Template {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more redirect cat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation page below.

When used by itself:

• From outside userspace: This is a redirect from a page outside the user namespace to a user page (not to a user talk page). If this redirect targets a user talk page, then use {{R to talk page}} instead. This redirect page must be outside the user namespace. If this redirect is in the user namespace, then instead of the expected category, it will populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.

Purpose

This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into two categories:

1. Category:Redirects to user namespace – for cross-namespace redirects, and
2. Category:Unprintworthy redirects – only redirects from the main-article namespace (mainspace)

This rcat is not for use on redirects that are in the user namespace. If placed on a redirect that is a user page, it will not populate the expected categories; it will instead be sorted to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace except user namespace.

• Apply this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[User:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to user namespace}}
}}

and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:

#REDIRECT [[User:(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to user namespace}}
{{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 [[User:(target page name)]]

{{R to user namespace}}

This is in accord with instructions found at BattleTechWiki:REDCAT.

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a page outside of user namespace to a page in user namespace. This rcat should never be used to tag a redirect in user namespace that targets any other page.

As noted, this rcat may be used to categorize a user talk-page redirect that targets a user page, however it should never be used to tag a redirect that targets a user talk page nor any talk page.
