- Template {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more rcat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation page below.
When used by itself:
- From an unprintworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would not be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability for more helpful information.
Template documentation | This template is used on approximately 64,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Purpose
This template is used to tag redirects and populate Category:Unprintworthy redirects. It may be used within the {{Redirect category shell}}, individually or within other redirect category (rcat) templates, which allows those rcats to populate the Unprintworthy redirects category automatically by default.
 | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of any rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia. |
Usage
- Use this redirect category (rcat) template to tag main-article namespace (mainspace) redirects that are not suitable for use in a printed or CD/DVD encyclopedia. While no full version of Wikipedia has yet been printed, there have been partial CD versions made that have used the Unprintworthy redirects category to exclude such redirects.
- Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- 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 unprintworthy}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Redirects that should have this template include misspellings (such as Gdańk for Gdańsk) and confusing redirects created after page merges and moves. Redirects that represent genuine alternate names (such as Danzig) should not use this template. Redirects such as Danzig, which should be used in a print encyclopedia, should be tagged with {{R printworthy}} instead.

Printworthiness
- In main-article namespace, many redirects are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are printworthy, so other rcats often have 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 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.
- Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.
- Examples:
{{Rcat shell|
{{(other rcat)}}
{{(other rcat)}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Rcat shell|
{{(other rcat)}}
{{(other rcat)}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
