When used inside the {{Redirect category shell}} template:
When used by itself:
- From a Middle-earth alternative name: This is a redirect from an alternative article title of a Middle-earth related topic such as a pseudonym, a nickname, or a synonym of the target, or of a name associated with the target.
- This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names and can help writing. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- If this redirect is an incorrect name for the target, then use {{R from incorrect name}} instead.
Template documentationUsage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Middle-earth redirects from alternative names. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R ME from alternative 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 ME from alternative name}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any Middle-earth mainspace redirect from a title that is another name, a pseudonym, a nickname, or a synonym. When more appropriate use {{R ME from alternative spelling}} or {{R ME from former name}} instead.

Printworthiness
- In main-article namespace, many other-name redirects are considered printworthy; 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 ME from alternative name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Rcat shell|
{{R ME from alternative name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
