Template:R with Wikidata item/doc

This rcat template should be used only on hard redirects. To tag soft redirects, use {{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}}.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This special redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Wikidata redirects. It is "special" because it tags hard redirects that are connected to items on Wikidata. Use the {{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}} rcat template to tag soft redirects that connect to Wikidata items. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R with Wikidata item}}
}}

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)#(target list entry section/anchor)]]

{{R with Wikidata item}}

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

• Use this rcat on all hard redirects in any namespace from titles that are used as connections to other Justapedia projects. See the category for examples.

Parameter

This rcat takes one unnamed parameter, |1=(Wikidata item #), that may be used when a Wikidata "Q" number does not readily fill in, and you know that it exists on Wikidata. Examples follow:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R with Wikidata item|Q21491525}}
}}

where the item number on Wikidata is Q21491525 – the "Q" prefix is optional:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R with Wikidata item|21491525}}
}}

Error detection

This template automatically places redirects that are not linked to Wikidata items in the tracking category Category:Unlinked Wikidata redirects. Please fix these, either by removing {{R with Wikidata item}} or by linking them to Wikidata (temporarily break the redirect, then add as a sitelink on Wikidata, then fix the redirect).

Printworthiness

• In main-article namespace, many redirects with Wikidata items 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 Justapedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Justapedia articles in printed versions. Some rcat templates automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat template, 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 to populate those categories are:

• {{R printworthy}} and
• {{R unprintworthy}}

Please click on each one for more details and guidance.

Examples:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R with Wikidata item}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R with Wikidata item}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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