Template:R from unnecessary disambiguation/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:R from unnecessary disambiguation (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

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

Usage[edit]

This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from unnecessary disambiguation and, when the redirect is in main-article namespace (mainspace), then Category:Unprintworthy redirects is also populated by default. Mainspace redirects that disambiguate needlessly are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy.
Category:Redirects to disambiguation pages, the redirect category that is populated by {{R to disambiguation page}}, is a subcategory of this rcat's category. So this rcat should not be used on mainspace disambiguation redirects with "(disambiguation)" in the page title. Use {{R to disambiguation page}} instead.
Add this rcat to a redirect page in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}
}}

and when the redirect is in article mainspace, printworthiness should also be tagged:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}
{{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 page name)]]

{{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}

Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace from currently unnecessary disambiguation.
