Template:Redirect category shell/Comparison

Because of a software modification, as of January 2014 text is now able to appear on Wikipedia's redirect pages. Therefore, they all have the capability to display other readable text in addition to the redirect arrow and target page title, which had been the only displayable content prior to the software modification.

This page compares how text may appear on redirect pages when they are tagged by redirect category (rcat) templates in accordance with the guideline for categorizing redirects. In particular, the style comparisons on this page display examples that show how rcats are rendered when the {{Redirect category shell}} (which has replaced the deprecated {{This is a redirect}} template) is used:

{{Redirect category shell|{{R from plural}}|{{R with possibilities}}}}

in contrast to how text appears when rcats are added to redirects individually, such as:

{{R from plural}}

{{R with possibilities}}

The Rcat shell template wraps rcats in a similar manner to other shell templates, such as the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. However, rather than collapsing the templates, the Rcat shell gives them a more sophisticated and professional appearance.
