Add Rcats[edit]

­This redirect needs Rcats (redirect categories) added. Please modify it as follows: 

#REDIRECT [[Template:Redirect from duplicated article]]

#REDIRECT [[Template:Redirect from duplicated article]]
*WHEN YOU COPY & PASTE, PLEASE ERASE THE TEXT ON THIS LINE & LEAVE THIS LINE BLANK.
((Redr|move|to redirect template|from template shortcut|protected))

Template ((Redr)) is a shortcut for the ((This is a redirect)) template, which is itself a shortcut used to add categories to redirects. Thank you in advance! – PAINE ELLSWORTH CLIMAX! 03:26, 12 April 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Text that was removed[edit]

This template lost it's text with this edit under the rationale "move message to /doc as it is not visible on redirect page anyway". The text is visible when the redirect is deactivated for discussion at Rfd, which can be very helpful, and there are two bug reports, T16323 and T44642 that are still trying to get the text on redirects activated so the newer contributors will be less confused about a given redirect. All of the other Rcats have text on them for these reasons. May we please return the text to this one?

please modify this...
[[Category:Redirects from duplicated articles]]
<!-- this is Template:R from duplicated article --><noinclude>
((documentation))
<!-- Add categories to the /doc subpage, not here! -->
</noinclude>
to this...
&nbsp;
----
This page was kept as a redirect to another article on the same or very similar subject matter, in order to preserve its edit history after the content was merged. Please ''do not'' delete this page or remove this tag (unless the need to recreate this article is demonstrated).

Looks good to me, I'll wait for template protection to be applied and give it sometime so people (MSGJ) can comment. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:58, 19 October 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you, Callanecc – maybe it's me, but I can't imagine why Martin would rm the text from one Rcat. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 02:58, 20 October 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

To editor MSGJ: I found another Rcat that needs text restored, Martin, at ((R from EXIF)). If we just re-add the text without the links, then this problem should not arise. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 15:08, 21 October 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you, Ruslik_Zero! Now if you could just slightly amend the &amp;nbsp; to &nbsp;, that would be perfect. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 21:08, 21 October 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 22 August 2021[edit]

The template automatically makes all redirects to be unprintworthy due too the code |printworthy=no. While this may be true for many/most redirects, there are some that are printworthy. This is the case in other redirect templates, which use this code 

|printworthy=((#ifeq:(({1))}|printworthy|yes|no))

If suitable for use by this template, please make the change. Senator2029 ❮talk❯ 09:46, 22 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Senator2029: This template implies that the redirect name will be almost identical to the main article every time, which would not be printworthy. Do you have an example of a printworthy redirect using this template? Thanks, Terasail[✉️] 20:28, 25 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Not done for now: No response given at this time. Reopen if an example is given. Terasail[✉️] 13:29, 26 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Terasail: – Lightning bell is a duplicated article of Franklin bells, but primarily it is a legitimate alternative name, and as such, would be printworthy not unprintworthy. Senator2029 【talk】 13:41, 17 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
