Template:R from merge
When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:
This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
|
- Template {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add one or more redirect cat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation page below.
When used by itself:
- From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.
This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Usage[edit]
- This redirect category (rcat) template is used to tag any redirect page in any namespace that results when a page is merged into another page. This rcat populates Category:Redirects from merges, which is used to track all page merges that might result in the breakage of links, both internal and external, if a redirect is not installed properly.
- For any redirect found that was left behind from a page merge and has not been so sorted, add this rcat in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from merge}}
}}
- 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 page name)]]
{{R from merge}}
- If this page was merged into a page that is different from the target page, then the unnamed parameter may be used to note the name of the other page in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from merge|1=(title of page into which this former content page was merged)}}
}}
- or the
1=
may be omitted:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from merge|(title of page into which this former content page was merged)}}
}}
- and when used individually:
{{R from merge|(title of page into which this former content page was merged)}}
- If the content of the redirect page has been merged to a specific section, list entry or anchor, then also use one of the following to categorize the redirect as appropriate:
{{R to section}}
{{R to list entry}}
{{R to anchor}}
- If the merged page had the same or very similar content as the target page, then instead apply:
{{R from duplicated article}}
to the redirect that was left behind after the merge.- Category:Redirects from duplicated articles is a subcategory of Category:Redirects from merges, so applying
{{R from merge}}
should not be done in this case.
- Any redirect in any namespace that has a substantive page history]] that was not the result of a page merge may be tagged with the {{R with history}} rcat instead.

TemplateData for R from merge
This redirect category (rcat) template is used to tag any redirect page in any namespace that results when a page is merged into another page.

This Template page is not yet active, as it concerns an administrative page that is a draft or a draft proposal and is located here. Editors are requested to be bold and assist with the drafting process if possible. Likewise, editors can comment on the pros and cons of the basic idea and on how the draft can be improved, rather than on whether it is a good idea to adopt the draft in its current form. Once this notice is removed (and the page moved out of the to its correct spot), discussion can move more clearly on to the issue of whether an actual proposal should be adopted, with or without amendments. |
