Template:R semi-protected/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Wikipedia semi-protected redirects by default.
• When template {{Redirect category shell}} (Rcat shell) is used to add one or more rcats to a redirect, there is no need to include this rcat. Rcat shell detects protection levels automatically, so by default it will add this rcat to a redirect when it is first protected and then remove it from the redirect if and when protection is lifted. See Rcat shell's template documentation for details.
• If used by itself, add this rcat to a redirect as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

1. REDIRECT (target page name)

• Semi-protected: This is a redirect from a title that is semi-protected from editing for any of several possible reasons.
  • Please do not replace these redirected links with links directly to the target page unless expressly advised to do so below or elsewhere on this page, or if the change is supported by a policy or guideline.

</syntaxhighlight>

This is in accordance with the instructions given at Wikipedia:REDCAT.

• Use this rcat to categorize semi-protected redirects. Adding this rcat and populating the Semi-protected redirects category does not in and of itself protect the redirect. Page protection can only be engaged by administrators.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many semi-protected redirects are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are printworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in Template:Diff. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used separately to populate those categories are:

• {{R printworthy}} and
• {{R unprintworthy}}

Please click on each one for more details and guidance.

• Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.

Examples:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

</syntaxhighlight>

Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
