Template:R from shortcut

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 shortcut: This is a redirect from a shortcut in any namespace to a page in any namespace except template namespace. Shortcuts are wikilinked on community pages, talk pages, and edit summaries, but not in mainspace articles. 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.

• From a shortcut: This is a redirect from a shortcut in any namespace to a page in any namespace except template namespace.
  • Shortcuts are wikilinked on community pages, talk pages, and edit summaries, but not in mainspace articles.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from shortcuts
• Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[target page name]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from shortcut}}
}}

Template {{Rcat shell}} is an alias for the {{Redirect category shell}} template, which may be used to add to a redirect as many appropriate rcats as needed, usually from one to seven, along with their parameters. For more information see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

#REDIRECT [[target page name]]

{{R from shortcut}}

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect that acts as a shortcut: an abbreviated link to an administrative page.

The parameter |of= or |for= can be used to specify the referent of the shortcut (e.g. to explain an acronym, since we do not use {{R from abbreviation}} except in mainspace). For example, the shortcut AEIS uses |for="analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis".
