Template:R template index is an index of redirect category templates. It should not be transcluded nor substituted to any page in Wikipedia. Template {{R help}} redirects here. If you see this warning in the history (diff) of a redirect, then template {{R to help}} was probably meant instead. Please replace template {{R help}} with template {{R to help}}. |
This template index page furnishes editors with a practical tool to quickly find the redirect category templates (Rcats) that are used most often. This index template organises the templates by function and, in some cases, provides examples of where and when to use them. For a complete alphabetical list of redirect category templates, see Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages. The procedure to use for placing these Rcats on redirects will be found at WP:REDCAT.

Notes
- {{This is a redirect}} can be used to group redirect category templates. This is useful with one exception: When you place an Rcat on a redirect that gives you the choice to change from one category to another, then you will not be able to use the {{This is a redirect}} template. The Rcat {{R from plural}} is a good example of this. {{R from plural}} is used to redirect from a plural title to a singular one. Most of these redirects are "unprintworthy", so {{R from plural}} automatically places those redirects in Category:Unprintworthy redirects. There are a few plurals that are "printworthy", so the Rcat is easily modified to cover these printworthy redirects by placing
{{R from plural|printworthy}} on the same line after the target link. However, using the pipe symbol "|" makes this unusable in the {{This is a redirect}} template. For more information, click on the templates.
- For Talk pages, there are only certain redirect category templates you should use. The only Rcats that apply to Talk pages are {{R to talk}}, {{R from shortcut}}, those associated with moves, merges and cross-namespace redirects. For more information, click on the templates.
