Usage

This rcat template should be used to tag template redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Template-protected redirects by default.
• When template {{Redirect category shell}} (Rcat shell) is used to add one or more rcats to a redirect, there is no need to include this rcat. Rcat shell detects protection levels automatically, so by default it will add this rcat to a redirect when it is first protected and then remove it from the redirect if and when protection is lifted. See Rcat shell's template documentation for details.
• If used by itself, add this rcat to a redirect as follows:

#REDIRECT [[target page name]]

{{R template protected}}

• This rcat may be used to categorize template-protected redirects. Adding this rcat and populating the Template-protected redirects category does not in and of itself protect the redirect. Page protection can only be engaged by administrators.

• {{R fully protected}}
