Template:R from initialism

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 an initialism: This is a redirect from an initialism to a related topic, such as the expansion of the initialism.
  • Use {{R from acronym}}, instead, for abbreviations that are pronounced as words, such as NATO and RADAR.
  • Use {{R from short name}}, instead, for the initials of a person's name.

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from initialisms. Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from initialism}}
}}

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 [[(target article title)]]

{{R from initialism}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag only mainspace redirects from initialisms to their expanded forms. Please do not use this template to tag an acronym, which is a special type of initialism that is spoken as a word, such as NATO and RADAR. For those use {{R from acronym}} instead. Also, if the redirect is from the initials of a personal name, then use the {{R from short name}} rcat instead.
• If an initialism redirect is not in mainspace, then tag it with {{R from short name}} or {{R from shortcut}} instead.
