=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in {{strong|any [[Wikipedia:WP:Namespace|namespace]]}}.}}
* This redirect category ([[Wikipedia:WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{cat|Redirects from shortcuts}} and, when the shortcut is in [[Wikipedia:WP:Mainspace|main-article namespace]] (mainspace), then {{cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} is also populated by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia Foundation]]'s goal of increasing access and availability of ''Wikipedia'' articles in {{diff|Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0||1319195|printed versions}}. Aliases/shortcuts in mainspace are not suitable for a printed version. In other words, they are [[Wikipedia:WP:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]].
{{info|image=Stop hand nuvola.svg|Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the '''[[Wikipedia:WP:Version 1.0 Editorial Team|Version 1.0 Editorial Team]]''', who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of ''Wikipedia''.}}
* Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
<pre>
Line 26:
</pre>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a Wikipedia (WP:, MOS:, etc.) [[Wikipedia:WP:Shortcut|shortcut]]. Shortcuts are historically reserved for [[Wikipedia:WP:Wikipedia namespace|Wikipedia project pages]], their [[Wikipedia:WP:WT|discussion]] and [[Wikipedia:WP:Help namespace|help page]]s, and [[Wikipedia:WP:CAT|categories]], and they are now used in all [[wp:namespace|namespace]]s. If the redirect is a shortcut '''''to''' the [[Wikipedia:Help:TemplatesTemplate‏‎ s|template]] namespace'' and the redirect itself is in ''any'' namespace, then '''use {{tl|R from template shortcut}} ''instead''''' of {{tlc|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 ''{{tlc|R from shortcut}}''.
 
The parameter {{para|of}} or {{para|for}} can be used to specify the referent of the shortcut (e.g. to explain an acronym, since we do not use {{tlx|R from abbreviation}} except in mainspace). For example, the shortcut [[Wikipedia:WP:AEIS]] uses {{para|for|"analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis"}}.
