Template:R from colloquial name/doc

Purpose
This template marks a redirect as one that should not be used as a link, and this template provides the official name. Any link to a redirect page transcluding this template should be changed to the official name without piping that would hide the official title.

This template automatically sorts the redirect into the following categories: In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in. Redirects from colloquial names are not usually suitable for a printed version, so they are sorted to the Unprintworthy category by default. See below for what to do for those few colloquial names that are printworthy.
 * – should never be used in articles – only the official name should be used
 * – when a mainspace redirect is tagged

With a official name specified for all uses of this template, repair of links to the redirect page becomes simple: the link to the redirect page should be changed to link to the official name. Given the official name is specified for each case below, it should always be easy to fix links to these redirects.

Usage

 * Use this redirect category (rcat) template for any redirect from an unofficial article name to the official name. Add this template to the redirect in the following manner:
 * 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:


 * This is in accord with instructions found at REDCAT


 * This template is not for simple punctuation differences – use R from alternative punctuation instead.
 * There is one unnamed parameter that may be used to specify the official name when the target is different from the official name or title:
 * or:

Example:
 * iPhone SE 2020 Redirect arrow without text.svgiPhone SE (2nd generation) (the target, "iPhone SE (2nd generation)", is the name of a product)


 * or:


 * It is acceptable (however unnecessary and redundant) to specify the redirect target as the official name:


 * or:


 * Both of the above will change the wording from "The official name is given by the target of the redirect," to "The official name is iPhone SE (2nd generation)."

Redirect target only mentions subject:


 * If the target article just mentions the official name and is not actually titled with it, then this rcat is used as follows:


 * or:


 * The official name should also be a redirect that targets the same article or other page name. That is, if this redirect is an colloquial name, and the target article is not the official name, there should be a matching redirect page that is titled with the official name.

Example:
 * Virginia Western Coal and Iron RailroadRedirect arrow without text.svgVirginia–Carolina Railway; the official name is Virginia Western Coal and Iron Railway, which also redirects to the Virginia–Carolina Railway article:


 * This will change the wording to "The official name is Virginia Western Coal and Iron Railway."

Redirect targets a #section or #anchor:


 * When the redirect is to a section or anchor within an article, then the official usage is:


 * The official name is expected to be either the anchor/section title, or a redirect page that also redirects to that same anchor/section of the target page. That is, if the redirect is an colloquial name, and the target page title, anchor title, or section header is not the official name (the official name is down in the page content), then there should be a matching redirect titled with the official name.

Printability:


 * By default, this template sorts redirects into the category. There might be the occasional case where an colloquial name is still a good search term. Also, an colloquial title might be the official name of another subject that has possibilities, that is, a subject that may have its own article someday.  To tag and categorize such an "colloquial-name" redirect as printworthy, use the unnamed 2nd parameter in the following manner:


 * That will subdue the default unprintworthy category and populate instead.  This must be done if R with possibilities is also used on the redirect.  Otherwise, the redirect will be sorted to both Printworthy redirects and Unprintworthy redirects categories, an undesirable situation.
