Usage

 * This redirect category (rcat) template populates and, when the redirect is in main-article namespace (mainspace), then  is also populated by default.  In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of  Wikipedia articles in .  Mainspace redirects that have ligatures – (Æ or æ; Œ or œ; Ĳ or ĳ, or ß) – are not usually suitable for a printed version.  In other words they are unprintworthy.  See below for what to do for those redirects from ligatures that are printworthy.

 * A sortkey is required that will sort by the target's title rather than by the (default sort) redirect's title. Also, these redirects sometimes need to be sorted by surname or when a title begins with "A..." or "The...".  Sort such redirects by using the DEFAULTSORT magic word in the following manner:
 * Place it on the first new line (do not skip a line) after the Rcat shell. Skipping a line will introduce unnecessary whitespace below the Rcat shell after the edit is saved.


 * By default, this template tags redirects as unprintworthy. To tag and categorize a redirect as printworthy, use the bar key ( &brvbar; ) on your keyboard to type the addition &brvbar;printworthy in the following manner:
 * Note: The bar key ( &brvbar; ) on the keyboard renders as a pipe ( &#124; ) on the screen.
 * That will subdue the default unprintworthy category and populate instead.
