Template:R to diacritic/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from titles without diacritics and Category:Unprintworthy redirects. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in Template:Diff. Redirect titles without diacritical marks are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.

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

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to diacritic}}
}}

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

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to diacritic}}
{{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 [[(target page name)]]

{{R to diacritic}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace with no diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, etc.) to essentially the same page name that does have diacritical marks.
• This rcat template must not be used to tag redirects to a title with differences that are 1: ligatures (like æ and Œ – use {{R to ligature}} instead), or 2: other non-ASCII characters that do not include diacritics (like Greek letters – use {{R from ASCII-only}} instead).
