Template:R from E number
When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:
This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
|
- 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 E number: This is a redirect from an E number to its subject's article in mainspace.
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from E numbers and Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Redirects from E numbers are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.
 | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the 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 page, not a talk-page redirect, in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from E number}}
{{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 article title)]]
{{R from E number}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag all mainspace redirects from E numbers that target their related articles. Redirects should be in the form "Exxx" and will be automatically sorted in the category by the number (xxx) without the "E" prefix. An example is:
Aliases
- Also known as... – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used
Technical note
This template has an unnamed parameter, |1=, that is used to correctly sort a few redirects from E numbers that were formatted incorrectly when created. Normally, this parameter does not need to be used since correctly formatted redirects (Exxx) are automatically sorted by this rcat template.
