Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

If this rcat is added to a redirect that is in any namespace other than mainspace , an error box will appear on the redirect, and the redirect will be sorted to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from mojibake, and when the redirect is in main-article namespace (mainspace), it is also added to Category:Unprintworthy 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 encoding errors are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.
