Usage
[edit]- Use this redirect category (rcat) template to tag any mainspace redirect that is the scientific name of an organism and targets the vernacular or common name.
- An unnamed parameter may be used to specify more precisely the kind of organism involved and to put the article in the appropriate subcategory. For example,
{{R from scientific name|fungus}}
sorts the redirect to Category:Redirects from scientific names of fungi.
- Parameters currently supported and the resulting categories are:
Unrecognized switch parameters will place the page into the category Category:Redirects from scientific names using unknown values for parameter 1
- To sort to the basic category, place this rcat on a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from scientific name}}
{{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 scientific name}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- This rcat automatically populates both Category:Redirects from scientific names or one of its subcategories 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. Redirects from scientific nomenclature are suitable for a printed version. In other words they are printworthy.
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. |
- Use this rcat only to tag mainspace redirects from scientific names of organisms. If the redirect is from some other scientific or technical name, then use {{R from technical name}} instead. From a molecular/chemical formula, such as "H2O", use {{R from molecular formula}} instead.
