Template:R from second-level domain

When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:

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 second-level domain: This is a redirect from a second-level domain to an article about its associated top-level domain, often to a section in that article, or to an article about its website.
  • Use this redirect link (without piping) when the link in the context specifically concerns the second-level domain. Other pages using this link should be updated to replace the text with the redirect target (again, without piping).

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from second-level domains and Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Mainspace redirects from website domain names are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.

• Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from second-level domain}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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 article title)]]

{{R from second-level domain}}

This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.

• Use this template for redirects that are second-level domain names and that are represented in the articles they target. An example of a second-level domain name that targets its associated top-level domain is .coop.mw.mw. An example of a second-level domain name of a website that targets its article is .blogspot.comBlogger (service).
