Template:R from person
When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:
- 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 a person(s): This is a redirect from a person or persons' name to a related article or section that describes the person(s).
- It is a topic more specific than currently provided on the target article or a section of that article, hence this redirect is a potential article that may be suitable for expansion in accordance with Wikipedia's notability policy on biographies of notable people. The magic word
{{DEFAULTSORT:(surname), (given name)}}should be included below the#REDIRECTcode in this page for correct category sorting of this person's name.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from people and Category:Printworthy redirects. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Mainspace redirects from a person or persons are usually suitable for a printed version. In other words they are printworthy. See below for those instances when a redirect from a person is unprintworthy.
- Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from person}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
- Use the DEFAULTSORT magic word to ensure that person redirects are sorted by surname rather than given name.
- 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 person}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a person or persons to a related article that includes the person(s). This applies when that redirect is a topic more specific than currently provided on the target page or section of that page, and so is a subject that may be suitable for expansion in accordance with Wikipedia's policy on biographies of notable people.
- Most of these redirects are considered printworthy, so this rcat also populates Category:Printworthy redirects by default. There are some redirects from persons that are not considered notable and printworthy, so when you add this rcat to a redirect that you decide is unprintworthy, then use the unnamed parameter to subdue the Printworthy redirects category in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from person|1=unprintworthy}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- or the
1=may be omitted:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from person|unprintworthy}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- and when used individually:
{{R from person|unprintworthy}}
- That will subdue the Printworthy redirects category and will add the redirect to Category:Unprintworthy redirects.
Aliases and variants
- Also known as... – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used
More-specific redirects: several redirects are more specific and should be used when applicable, as they may eventually become maintenance subcategories if Category:Redirects from people becomes too unwieldy:
- {{R from founder}}
- {{R from co-founder}}
- {{R from executive}}
- {{R from boardmember}}
- {{R from employee}}
- {{R from victim}}
There are also a few that have already split into separate template/category pairs:
{{R from member}}(for bands, military units, etc.)
There are few occupational-relationship splits more specific than this. One is:
{{R from writer}}a.k.a.{{R from author}}
A few family-relationship variants also exist:
{{R from relative}}{{R from spouse}}
