: 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"}}.
