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:

Fully protected: This is a redirect from a title that is fully protected from editing for any of several possible reasons. It may have been protected by an administrator, or it may be on the Cascade-protected list, or both.
- Please do not replace these redirected links with links directly to the target page unless expressly advised to do so below or elsewhere on this page, or if the change is supported by a policy or guideline.

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:

Fully protected: This is a redirect from a title that is fully protected from editing for any of several possible reasons. It may have been protected by an administrator, or it may be on the Cascade-protected list, or both.
- Please do not replace these redirected links with links directly to the target page unless expressly advised to do so below or elsewhere on this page, or if the change is supported by a policy or guideline.

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

This rcat does not protect redirects. It will only categorize redirects that have already been protected by administrators.

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

Usage

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Wikipedia fully protected redirects by default.
If an administrator has fully protected the redirect, then template ((Redirect category shell)) (Rcat shell) can be used to add one or more rcats to the redirect and will automatically sort the redirect to the Wikipedia fully protected redirects category. The Rcat shell detects protection levels automatically, so by default it will add this rcat to a redirect when it is first protected and then automatically remove it from the redirect if and when protection is lifted. See the Rcat shell's template documentation for details.
If the redirect has been added to the Cascade-protected list and has not been fully protected by an administrator, then this rcat will not be applied automatically by the Rcat shell and will have to be added manually. In this case, when the Rcat shell is used, apply this rcat to the top of the list as follows:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

((Rcat shell|
((R fully protected))
((2nd rcat))
((3rd rcat))
((and so on))
))

If used without the Rcat shell, then add this rcat to a redirect as follows:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

((R fully protected))
((2nd rcat))
((3rd rcat))
((and so on))

This is in accordance with the instructions given at Wikipedia:REDCAT.

This rcat is used to categorize fully protected redirects. Adding this rcat and populating the Fully protected redirects category does not in and of itself protect the redirect. Page protection can only be engaged by administrators.

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 fully protected redirects are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are printworthy, 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)) and
((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 printworthy))

((Rcat shell|
((R unprintworthy))
