{{Substitution|not|nor used to tag [[Wikipedia:Soft redirects|soft redirects]]}}
__NOTOC__
== Usage ==
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template in '''any [[wp:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}
* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from British spelling}} and, when the redirect is in [[wp:mainspace|main-article namespace]] (mainspace), {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} is also populated by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]'s goal of increasing access and availability of ''Wikipedia'' articles in {{diff|Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0||1319195|printed versions}}. British English redirects that are in mainspace are most often not included in a printed version. In other words they are usually [[WP:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]]. [[#print|See below]] for how to tag those few anchor redirects that are printworthy.
{{info|image=Stop hand nuvola.svg|Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the '''[[WP:Version 1.0 Editorial Team|Version 1.0 Editorial Team]]''', who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of ''Wikipedia''.}}
* Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from British English}}
}}
</pre>
: Template {{tl|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:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R from British English}}
</pre>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[Wikipedia:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace from a title with a different correct spelling of the target.
** '''Do ''not''''' use this rcat to tag a redirect from an incorrectly spelled title – misspelled redirects should be tagged with {{tl|R from misspelling}} ''instead'' – such "typo" redirects are frequently good search terms.
* Pages that link to these redirects may be updated to link directly to the target pages ''if that results in an improvement of the text''. Do ''not'' "fix" such links if they are [[WP:NOTBROKEN|not broken]]. In addition, these links [[MOS:NOPIPE|should not be replaced]] with [[WP:piped link|piped link]]s.

==== Parameters ====
* The first unnamed parameter, {{para|1}}: may be used to alter the text when the non-British spelling is of a name that is different from the target's title. It is used as follows:
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from British English|1=(other spelling)}}
}}
</pre>
: ''or'' the {{code|1{{=}}}} may be omitted:
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from British English|(other spelling)}}
}}
</pre>

: The text will be changed '''from''' {{maroon|''The prevalent spelling is given by the target of the redirect''}} '''to''' {{maroon|''The prevalent spelling is (other spelling)''}}.

* {{anchor|print}}The second unnamed parameter, {{para|2}}: by default, this template tags and categorizes redirects as unprintworthy. Use the second parameter to subdue this behavior and populate {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} in the following manner:
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from British English|2=printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</pre>
:''or''
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from British English||printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</pre>
: (leave first parameter "empty") ''or''
<pre>
{{R from British English||printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
</pre>

==== Aliases ====
* <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:R_from_British_English|hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&limit=500}} Also known as...]</span> (list of all redirects to this template that may also be used).
