Template:R to subpage
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:
- To a subpage: This is a redirect to a subpage. In a page title, a subpage name appears after a forward slash (/); for example, "Wikiversity:Technical move requests" redirects to Wikiversity:Requested moves/Technical requests, which is a subpage of Wikiversity:Requested moves. Please note that not every page title with "/" in its title is a subpage. See this template's documentation for details.
This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage
edit- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to subpages. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(full target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R to subpage}}
}}
- 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 [[(full target page name)]]
{{R to subpage}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikiversity:REDCAT.
- With exceptions noted below, use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace that targets the subpage of another page. An example is:
- which is a subpage of Wikiversity:Requested moves.
When not to use this template
editPlease note that not every page title with "/" in its title is a subpage. This rcat template does not need to be used on redirects that contain this character if they are:
- To a Wikiversity: Manual of Style guideline (they are all guidelines in their own right; while they are arranged hierarchically as part of the Manual of Style "virtual book", they are stand-alone documents and are not subpages of WV:MOS, albeit subordinate to it as a matter of WV:POLICY authority).
- To a subpage after a move from an older subpage name (there is probably no utility at all in cataloguing "Template:FooBar/doc" with more rcats than "from move" if the page was moved to "Template:BarFoo/doc" following the move of the parent template).
It also should not be used for redirects to "conceptually subordinate" pages that do not have "/" in their names, such as:
- Templates that pertain to a wikiproject but are not subpages under it.
- Narrow-topic resources that were WV:SPLIT from a more general resource, per WV:SUMMARY.
- Naming convention guidelines, like WV:Naming conventions; although supplements to the WV:Resource titles policy, they are not subpages of it in any useful sense.
Good uses for this template
editSome examples:
- When a WV:... shortcut goes to a page that is primarily intended for and used as a transclusion (e.g. Wikiversity talk:Manual of Style/FAQ, a talk page header that is also sometimes linked to as a separate page)
- When a Template:... redirect exists to a template that is mostly used as, and structured as a sub-template module of a larger meta-template.
- When a Wikiversity:... redirect exists at the former or easily misremembered location of, or a WV:... shortcut goes to, something that is presently a sub-process of something else (e.g. Wikiversity:Arbitration enforcement and WV:AE, which redirect to Wikiversity:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement)
