Template:R from shortcut/doc

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

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".
