From a category with possibilities: This is a redirect from a category title that potentially could be populated as a separate category.
- Other pages should not populate this redirected category. If you find category links to this redirect from articles, templates, categories, or portals, please retarget those links to the category page to which this entry redirects.
- If used to tag redirects in any namespace other than category space, then Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace will be populated, so be sure to use this rcat only on category pages.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template should not be substituted and yet, unlike other rcats, this template may be used to tag and categorize soft category redirects.

Use this redirect category (rcat) template for any category (soft) redirect that, in your opinion, may stand alone as a category title that potentially could be populated as a separate category. Important to note that category redirects, when tagged with this rcat, will appear as subcategories in Category:Category redirects with possibilities, not as normal page entries.
Apply this rcat to a category redirect in the following manner:

((category redirect|(target page name)))

((R category with possibilities))

This is in accord with the instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.

If a redirect in the category namespace is tagged with this rcat, then Category:Category redirects with possibilities is populated. If the redirect is in any other namespace, then Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace will be populated, so be sure to use this rcat to tag only category pages.
