__NOTOC__
=== Usage ===
{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}
* This [[Wikipedia:Categorizing redirects|rcat]] populates both {{Cat|Redirects from other capitalisations}}, which must be populated by ''main-article namespace'' (mainspace) redirects '''only''', and {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}}. 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}}. Most redirects to other capitalisations are not suitable for a printed version.  In other words they are [[WP:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]].  [[#print|See below]] for what to do for the few redirects from other capitalisations that are printworthy. 
{{notice|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''.}}
* Place this rcat after the mainspace redirect target (''not'' on any [[Help:Talk pages|talk page]]) in the following manner:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from other capitalisation}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</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 article title)]]

{{R from other capitalisation}}
</pre>
: This is in accord with instructions found at [[WP:REDCAT]].
* Use this rcat to tag any '''''mainspace''''' redirect from a title with another method of capitalisation.  It leads to the title in accordance with the [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization)|Wikipedia naming conventions for capitalisation]] and may help writing, searching and international language issues.
* If this rcat is placed on any redirect in a namespace ''other than'' mainspace, it will '''not''' appear on the redirect, and it will '''not''' place the redirect in the {{c|Redirects from other capitalisations}} category.  Instead, the redirect will be placed in '''{{Cat|Pages with templates in the wrong namespace}}''' and will require repair.  When an other-capitalisation redirect is not in mainspace, then use {{tl|R from modification}} ''instead''.
* '''Important note:''' Other capitalisations that are ''incorrect'' capitalisations should '''''not''''' be tagged with this rcat – use {{tl|R from miscapitalisation}} ''instead''.
* Other variants should use one of the other rcats such as {{Tl|R from alternative spelling}} or {{Tl|R from alternative name}}.

==== Parameters ====
{{anchor|print}}
* {{Para|1|printworthy}} – By default, this template tags and categorizes redirects as unprintworthy.  Use the first parameter to subdue this behavior and populate {{Cat|Printworthy redirects}} in the following manner:
<pre>
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from other capitalisation|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
</pre>
:''or''
<pre>
{{R from other capitalisation|printworthy}}
</pre>

* {{para|2|{{var|text}}}}, {{para|of|{{var|text}}}} or {{para|reason|{{var|text}}}}, use of any of these will change:
: {{Talk quote inline|"...from a title with another method of capitalisation. It leads to..."}}
: to:
: {{Talk quote inline|"...from a title with another method of capitalisation of {{big|{{var|text}}}}."}}
: This is useful when the term redirected {{em|from}} is an alternative capitalisation of a different name for or subtopic of the article title rather than of the title itself. For example, the redirect {{no redirect|Northern Blue Jay}}:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[Blue jay#Subspecies]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subtopic}}
{{R to section}}
{{R from other capitalisation|of=the redirect {{-r|Northern blue jay}}}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
</pre>
: or if applied individually:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[Blue jay#Subspecies]]

{{R from subtopic}}
{{R to subsection}}
{{R from other capitalisation|of=the redirect {{-r|Northern blue jay}}}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
</pre>

==== Aliases ====
* <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:R_from_other_capitalisation|hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&limit=500}} Also known as...]</span> (list of all redirects to this template that may also be used).
* {{tl|R from other capitalization}} (American "z" rather than British "s")
* Some other specific cases can also be more specifically flagged:
** {{tlx|R from uppercase}} (e.g. "Mountain Lion" → "Mountain lion")
** {{tlx|R from lowercase}} (e.g. "The lord of the rings" → "The Lord of the Rings")
** {{tlx|R from all caps}} (e.g. "SONY" → "Sony")
** {{tlx|R from mixed case}} (for randomly jumbled case, e.g. "ComPanY nAmE" → "Company Name", which are known as "StudlyCaps")
:* For redirects from historically-based "CamelCase" titles, please use the separate template:
:** {{tlx|R from CamelCase}}
* If a redirect is from an excessively capitalized title that violates [[WP:NCCAPS]] and [[MOS:CAPS]], please use the template:
** {{tlx|R from miscapitalisation}} a.k.a. ''R from miscapitalization'' (American "z" rather than British "s")
