Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects.

Shortcut

{{RISO-3166}}

Usage[edit]

This redirect category (rcat) template places pages into Category:Redirects from ISO 3166 codes. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from ISO 3166 code}}
}}

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 ISO 3166 code}}

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

Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from an ISO 3166 geographical code to an article about the location. An example is ISO 3166-1:MMMyanmar.

Printworthiness[edit]

In main-article namespace, some ISO-code redirects are unprintworthy; however, there are others that are printworthy, 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 ISO 3166 code}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from ISO 3166 code}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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