Template:R to template namespace/doc

Purpose
This redirect category (rcat) template sorts redirects into the following categories:
 * 1)  – for PNRs and CNRs, and
 * 2)  – only redirects from the main-article namespace (mainspace)
 * In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in .  Mainspace redirects that target pages in the template namespace are not suitable for a printed version.  In other words they are unprintworthy.

This rcat should not be used to tag redirects that are inside the template namespace. If placed on a redirect that is a template page, this rcat will not populate the expected category(ies). The redirect will instead be sorted to.

 * This is in accord with instructions found at REDCAT.


 * Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a page outside of the template namespace that targets a page inside the template namespace.


 * This rcat should never be used on a redirect page that is in the template namespace.
