Template:R from product name

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 product or service: This is a redirect from a title that is the name of a product or service to a more general, relevant article such as the company or person that sells it.
  • This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names and can help writing and searches. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.

Usage

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from products. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from product}}
}}

when the product or service has the possibility of becoming notable with its own article, then:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from product}}
{{R with possibilities}}
{{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 product}}

This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.

• Use this rcat on any mainspace redirect from a title that is a product or service to a more general, relevant article such as the company or person that sells the product or service.

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many redirects from products or services are considered printworthy with the possibility of becoming notable; however, there are also many 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 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:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from product}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from product}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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