Template:R template protected/doc

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

	Notice This rcat does not protect redirects. It will only categorize redirects that have already been protected by administrators.

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.
