Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]Purpose

Boeing XB-15.
Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from manufacturers' designations and Category:Printworthy redirects by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. A redirect from a manufacturer's model number is considered to be suitable for a printed version of this encyclopedia. In other words it is printworthy.
- Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from manufacturer's designation}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
- 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 from manufacturer's designation}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a manufacturer's designation to a more common military or commercial designation of an aircraft, vehicle, or other item.
