Template:R from misspelling

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 misspelling: This is a redirect from a misspelling or typographical error. The correct form is given by the target of the redirect. This redirect is made available to aid searches. Pages that use this link should be updated to link directly to the target without the use of a piped link that hides the correct details. This template tags redirects with a subcategory of the Category:Redirects from incorrect names category, so template {{R from incorrect name}} should not be used with this template. 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.

When used by itself:

• From a misspelling: This is a redirect from a misspelling or typographical error. The correct form is given by the target of the redirect.
  • This redirect is made available to aid searches. Pages that use this link should be updated to link directly to the target without the use of a piped link that hides the correct details.
  • This template tags redirects with a subcategory of the Category:Redirects from incorrect names category, so template {{R from incorrect name}} should not be used with this template.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace, except for typos in template space.

• Use this redirect category (rcat) template on a redirect in the following manner:

Example: the mainspace article redirect Antony van Leeuwenhook may be tagged:

#REDIRECT [[Antonie van Leeuwenhoek]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from misspelling}}
{{R from move}}
}}

Template {{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 redairect. For more information see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

#REDIRECT [[Antonie van Leeuwenhoek]]

{{R from misspelling}}

• This template takes a parameter, either unnamed (|1=) or named (|of=) that may be used to provide the correct spelling when it is not the same as the target page's title – for example when an alternate name for the article has been misspelled. Supply the correct name as the first parameter in any of the following ways:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from misspelling|1=(correct spelling)}}
}}

or the |1= may be omitted:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from misspelling|(correct spelling)}}
}}

with the |of= parameter:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from misspelling|of=(correct spelling)}}
}}

and when used individually:

{{R from misspelling|(correct spelling)}}
  or
{{R from misspelling|of=(correct spelling)}}

Example: the misspelled redirect Babtist employs:

#REDIRECT [[Baptists]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from misspelling}}
{{R from move}}
}}

• This rcat populates Category:Redirects from misspellings by default.
• This rcat may be used to tag redirects from homoglyphs and homographs when they have been created in error or specifically made available as search terms.
