About
A redirect may target an anchor that covers a particular term that has insufficient independent scope and notability to warrant its own section, much less an entire article, and the term is nonetheless important within the field and is useful to link from other articles in the field of expertise. Such redirects allow a reader to search and find useful information about the term and similar related material in the defining article.
Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populatesCategory:Redirects to embedded anchors.Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT[[(target page name)#(target anchor name)]]
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R to anchor}}
}}
- If the redirect is inmainspace,then printworthiness should also be tagged:
#REDIRECT[[(target page name)#(target anchor name)]]
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R to anchor}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:
#REDIRECT[[(target page name)#(target anchor name)]]
{{R to anchor}}
- This is in accord with instructions found atWikipedia:REDCAT.
- This rcat is used whenever a redirect targets:
- an embedded{{anchor}}or{{vanchor}}on a page
- a
<span id=(anchor)>... </span>html element,e.g. old section headers - the
id=attribute withintables
- Please use the following rcats when more appropriate:
{{R to list entry}}{{R to section}}to categorize redirects to existing section headers
Printworthiness
 | Please do not alter the printworthy settings ofanyrcat without first notifying theVersion 1.0 Editorial Team,who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version ofWikipedia. |
- Inmainspace,many redirects to embedded anchors are considered printworthy, perhaps evenwith the possibilityto become a separate article, project page, etc.; however, there are many other such redirects that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort forprintworthiness.
- In 2003, efforts were begun to support theWikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability ofWikipediaarticles inprinted versions.Some rcats automatically populate eitherCategory:Printworthy redirectsorCategory:Unprintworthy redirectsby default. Others, like this rcat, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories,PrintworthyorUnprintworthy,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 and any other rcats:
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R to anchor}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R to anchor}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
