Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.
This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from books and Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Since redirected book titles are already mentioned in author and publisher articles, they are usually not needed in the printed version unless they are notable enough to have their own article. In other words they are unprintworthy. See below for what to do for the few book redirects that are printworthy.
Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia.
By default, this rcat also formats the title of the book in italics on the redirect page. See below for those rare instances when this function must be subdued.
Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page 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:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{R from book}}
This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
Use this rcat on any mainspace redirect from a book title to an author, publisher or other more general, relevant article.
By default, this template places redirects in the unprintworthy category. To tag and categorize a redirect as printworthy, type the addition printworthy in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from book|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
Infrequently, a book title might require the use of {{DISPLAYTITLE}} or {{Italic title}} with its |string= parameter to format the title of the redirect. In those cases the default italic title will interfere with that format and must be subdued. When this rcat tags a redirect from inside the Rcat shell template, this is done in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from book|2=noitalics}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
or:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from book||noitalics}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
and if applied individually:
{{R from book|2=noitalics}}
or:
{{R from book||noitalics}}
That will subdue the default italic title so no title-display conflict will result.
