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:
- From a less specific name: This is a redirect from a title that is a less specific name to a more specific, less general one.
- It may be a less specialized term, a broader usage, a generic term or simply be worded less narrowly. It leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names and can help writing and searches. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- Such names often indicate that a broader, overview article needs to be written. For such redirects
{{R with possibilities}} should also be added.
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 less specific name: This is a redirect from a title that is a less specific name to a more specific, less general one.
- It may be a less specialized term, a broader usage, a generic term or simply be worded less narrowly. It leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names and can help writing and searches. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- Such names often indicate that a broader, overview article needs to be written. For such redirects

should also be added.
Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates വർഗ്ഗം:Redirects from less specific names. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from less specific name}}
}}
- 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 less specific name}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag all redirects from a title that is a less specific, more general page name.
- Important note: If the redirect situation suggests that we are missing a more general, overarching article than the redirect target's scope, then {{R with possibilities}} should also be used to tag the redirect. If the target page of the redirect needs a broader scope, then this issue should be raised on the article's talk page.
