Template:R from work

When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:

This page is a redirect:

From a creative work: This is a redirect from a creative work to a related topic such as the author/artist, publisher, or a subject related to the work.
- Creative works should only have an individual article when they meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines and there is enough material to warrant a detailed article.
- If the work is an album, book, comic, film, journal, quotation, song (or cover song), slogan, TV program, or episode, please use the more specific template.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

Template {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more rcat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation page below.

When used by itself:

From a creative work: This is a redirect from a creative work to a related topic such as the author/artist, publisher, or a subject related to the work.
- Creative works should only have an individual article when they meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines and there is enough material to warrant a detailed article.
- If the work is an album, book, comic, film, journal, quotation, song (or cover song), slogan, TV program, or episode, please use the more specific template.

This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects.

Usage

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from creative works. This rcat also formats the title of the work in italics on the redirect page. See below for those redirects for which italics must be subdued, such as for minor works like short stories, short films, poems, operettas, comedy routines, and so on. Major works, which include paintings, sculptures, operas, plays, and book-length poetic works, should be formatted in italics.

Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner, in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from work}}
}}

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.

Use of this rcat to tag a redirect individually, without {{Rcat shell}}, is deprecated:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{R from work}}

Use this rcat to tag all mainspace redirects from creative-work titles that are subtopics of their targets, unless a more specific template can be used (listed below in See also section).

Occasionally, a creative work's title might require the use of {{DISPLAYTITLE}} to format the title of the redirect. In those cases, the default italic title will interfere with that format and must be subdued. The italics format must also be subdued for titles of minor works as described earlier on this page. Italics may be subdued by use of the unnamed parameter, |1=, in the following manner:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from work|1=noitalic}}
}}

or the 1= may be omitted:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from work|noitalic}}
}}

Printworthiness

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.

In main-article namespace, many creative work redirects are considered printworthy; however, there are many others that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used separately to populate those categories are:

{{R printworthy}}
{{R unprintworthy}}

Please click on each one for more details and guidance.

Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.

Examples:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from work}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from work}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
