R from radio program?
We have R from television program: why not R from radio program? I wanted to categorise Fixing Britain with Louise Casey and struggled. There must be plenty of cases where a radio show is notable enough for a redirect to its host but not for an entire article. Pam D  09:47, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't see why not. &middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 16:37, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Who makes these decisions? Do I just go ahead and create it (by modelling it on the TV equivalent) and then add it to the template which has the index of Rcats, or is there a formal approval process? Pam  D  17:35, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is anything more formal than asking for comments here. If there's been no objections after a few days (and I have none) then just go ahead and create it. Thryduulf (talk) 13:36, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * OK, I've WP:BOLDly had a go. I've created R from radio program and Category:Redirects from radio programs, added it to R template index, and added it to one redirect, Fixing Britain with Louise Casey. I'd be delighted if someone with a bit more experience of creating Rcats would have a look and see if I've done everything right. Pam  D  16:04, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Categorization of multiple taxonomies
The "Categorization of multiple taxonomies" section seems like just a specific applied instance of the "Redirects having a target that is incompatible with the category" section above it. Should it be merged into that section? &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 20:53, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * , It does look like it could be seen that way. Perhaps further clarification would be useful, or move the subsection on categorization of multiple taxonomies into the one on redirects having a target that is incompatible with the category. &middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 08:49, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

R from literal translation
Example: All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography named after S.A.Gerasimov (correct full name in English: S. A. Gerasimov All-Russian University of Cinematography). What is the rcat for this redirect? What is the printworthiness in your opinion, in this example? —Alalch E. 12:48, 25 March 2024 (UTC)


 * , I've never used it myself (I only found it when looking at just now), but would R from alternative translation be a good fit here? I'm not the most familiar with printworthiness, so I don't feel qualified enough to give an answer on that front. Apologies for the belated response.

R from organization department or division
What is the appropriate redirect categorization to use when redirecting from an organizational department or division to the parent organization? Especially for government bureaucracies? GobsPint (talk) 00:57, 21 April 2024 (UTC)


 * , does R from subsidiary match what you're looking for? All the best, &zwj;—&zwj; a smart kitten [  meow ] 18:06, 21 April 2024 (UTC)


 * That's perfect. I must've overlooked that keyword. GobsPint (talk) 18:22, 21 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I've added it to the Rcat functional index navbox. GobsPint (talk) 18:26, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

R from notable event, meeting, summit, or conference?
What is the appropriate redirect categorization from a notable event, meeting, summit, or conference? Closest I found is R from subtopic? Several scientific organizations got their start at notable conferences/meetings. GobsPint (talk) 21:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

note
per an rfd, a new rcat should be created and the old title at Template:R from subtitle be recreated as having a new deprecation notice as explained there. Should it be called Template:R from subtitle alone or another? Toadette Edit! 22:32, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I missed this note - but for reference for anyone reading this in the future, I created a new rcat-redirect from, and created a template-dab page at R from subtitle to distinguish between that and  . All the best, &zwj;—&zwj;  a smart kitten [  meow ] 13:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Redirect from an examination, test, or certification?
When creating redirects for notable certifications to the certification body, is R from subtopic the preferred option? GobsPint (talk) 04:33, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Categorize templates based on namespace(s)
I'm developing a tool that, among other things, places RCat templates on pages. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to determine which templates can be used in which namespaces. Would anyone be opposed if I used a script that ran through all the templates and assigned them to Category:All namespace redirect templates, Category:Main namespace redirect templates, Category:Help namespace redirect templates, Category:Portal namespace redirect templates, Category:Talk namespace redirect templates, Category:Template namespace redirect templates, Category:Wikipedia namespace redirect templates, Category:Category namespace redirect templates, Category:User namespace redirect templates, and/or Category:Other namespace redirect templates? --Ahecht (TALK PAGE) 14:30, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

 * I don't see any issues with categorising the templates like that, although I'm not sure that applying the templates to is something that can be reliably automated? Thryduulf (talk) 15:35, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * It would be based on which XXXX category parameters are present in each template, which is what the underlying module uses to determine if a template is correctly places. --Ahecht ([[User talk:Ahecht|TALK
