From an avoided double redirect: මෙය an alternative title or related topic of (redirect page name), another redirect to the same title සිට යළියොමු කිරීමකි. Because double redirects are disallowed, both pages currently point to (target article).
If (redirect page name) is retargeted or is expanded into a separate article, template, or other project page, this redirect will be recategorized to be updated.
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:
From an avoided double redirect: මෙය an alternative title or related topic of (redirect page name), another redirect to the same title සිට යළියොමු කිරීමකි. Because double redirects are disallowed, both pages currently point to (target article).

Because the saved version of a page is used to determine if it is a redirect, this template may incorrectly give an error in preview mode. Save the page to be sure if the error is true or not.
Some redirects should target other redirects, but that is not allowed by Wikipedia software. A redirect that targets another redirect is called a "double redirect". This redirect category (rcat) template may be used to tag redirects from alternative forms (abbreviations, disambiguated titles, etc.) of titles that are themselves redirects to broader-topic articles (whether or not marked as redirects with possibilities). To avoid a double redirect, any alternative-title redirect must also target the same broader article, and must be updated if the redirect from the more specific title is converted to a separate article.
Usage
This rcat template populates the following categories by default:
The "(specified page)" is the other redirect that has possibilities of being converted into an article, and to which the tagged redirect may someday be retargeted.
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:
Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a title that should target another redirect. For example, so far there is no article Harriman Nelson yet, and that title is a redirect to Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (TV series). Alternate forms of that redirect, such as Admiral Harriman Nelson, must also redirect to the "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (TV series)" article in order to avoid a double redirect. In this case the Admiral Harriman Nelson redirect should be tagged with this rcat template as follows:
#REDIRECT[[Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (TV series)]]{{Rcat shell|{{R avoided double redirect|Harriman Nelson}}{{R unprintworthy}}}}
or if applied individually:
#REDIRECT[[Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (TV series)]]{{R avoided double redirect|Harriman Nelson}}
The individual usage on the Admiral Harriman Nelson redirect would display (without the border):
From an avoided double redirect: මෙය an alternative title or related topic of Harriman Nelson, another redirect to the same title සිට යළියොමු කිරීමකි.
This is a broken redirect (its target does not exist).
From an avoided double redirect: මෙය an alternative title or related topic of Harriman Nelson, a former redirect to the same title සිට යළියොමු කිරීමකි.
This is a broken redirect (its target does not exist).
Avoided double redirects are considered to inherit the redirect categories of the initial redirect and should not be placed in redirect categories that apply in the same way to both. (This would create a redundancy that would increase the maintenance burden.) For instance, say Campus of Foobar University is a redirect to Foobar University tagged with {{R from subtopic}} and {{R to section}}. The avoided double redirect, Foobar University campus, should be tagged only with {{R from avoided double redirect}}, not {{R from subtopic}} and {{R to section}}.
However, additional redirect categories may be used when they apply specifically to the avoided double redirect. For instance, Campus of Fooobar University (with a triple o) could have {{R from misspelling}} in addition to {{R from avoided double redirect}}.

Printworthiness
Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia.
In main-article namespace, many redirects from avoided double redirects are considered printworthy; however, there are many others that are unprintworthy, 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 printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either ප්රවර්ගය:Printworthy redirects or ප්රවර්ගය: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:

TemplateData for R avoided double redirect
This redirect category (rcat) template may be used to tag redirects from alternative forms (abbreviations, disambiguated titles, etc.) of titles that are themselves redirects to broader-topic articles (whether or not marked as redirects with possibilities). To avoid a double redirect, any alternative-title redirect must also target the same broader article, and must be updated if the redirect from the more specific title is converted to a separate article.
