=== Usage ===
{{Small|This rcat template is usually used in '''[[wikipedia:template namespace|template namespace]]'''; however, it can be used in '''any [[wikipedia:namespace|namespace]]'''.}}

* This redirect category ([[wikipedia:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects to redirect templates}} by default.  If placed on a page in a namespace other than template space, then it will also populate {{cat|Redirects to template namespace}} (for [[wikipedia:PNR|PNR]]s and [[wikipedia:CNR|CNR]]s).  
* Add this rcat to a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect page]] in the following manner: 

{{Pre|
{{fcb|#2e8b57|&#35;REDIRECT}} {{!((}}{{fcb|#2e8b57|target page name}}]]

{{{{fcb|#4169e1|Rcat shell}}|
{{((}}{{fcb|#2e8b57|R to redirect template}}{{))}}
}} }}

: Template {{tl|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:
{{Pre|
{{fcb|#2e8b57|&#35;REDIRECT}} {{!((}}{{fcb|#2e8b57|target page name}}]]

{{((}}{{fcb|#4169e1|R to redirect template}}{{))}}
}}

* Use this rcat to tag any redirect that targets a redirect category (rcat) template.  The redirect may be a [[wikipedia:shortcut|shortcut]] or the result of a page move/rename.  When the redirect is a shortcut, then it is a "template shortcut" no matter what namespace it is in and should also be tagged with {{tl|R from shortcut}}.
