Template:R to initialism/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:R to initialism. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage
edit- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to initialisms. Add this rcat to a redirect page, not a talk page, in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to 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 to initialism}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WV:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag all mainspace redirects to initialisms of words from their expanded forms. Please do not use this template for redirects to acronyms. Use {{R to acronym}} instead. Initialisms are spoken letter by letter, while acronyms are spoken as words:
- If a redirect to an initialism is not in mainspace, then tag it with {{R from long name}} rather than this rcat.
