Template:R from short name/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from short names. Add this rcat to a redirect page in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from short name}}
}}

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 from short name}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect title that is a shortened form of a full article title or a shorter form of a person's full name. Also use for incomplete names and titles, such as "Template:R from short".
• If appropriate, for example the redirect is a person's name, be sure to follow Wikiversity:Sort key and use {{DEFAULTSORT}}, with a colon ( : ) not a pipe ( | ), to sort by the person's "surname" in the categories.
• For abbreviations and initialisms, such as "US", use {{R from initialism}} instead (unless the initials redirect to a person's name – then use this template, R from short name).
