Template:Redirect from sort name category

The pages in this category are redirects from sort names to their appropriate target articles. Use uppercase capital letters in these parameters. To add a redirect to this category, place {{Rcat shell|{{R from sort name|1=(the first letter of the redirect title)|2=(the first letter of the target article)}}}} on the second new line (skip a line) after #REDIRECT [[Target page name]]. For more information follow the links. Never substitute redirect template(s), nor place them on soft redirects.

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories.

This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

• This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.
• These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
• These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

Usage

This template is placed at the top of the subcategory pages of Category:Redirects from sort names and Category:Redirects from ambiguous sort names. It requires as its first parameter, |1=, or its second parameter, |2=, the uppercase letter that comes at the end of the subcategory name. For the ambiguous-name categories, the third parameter, |3=ambig may be used to slightly alter the text. As is common with unnamed parameters, those that are not used may be omitted or left empty.

Examples

• {{Redirect from sort name category|1=J}}
• {{Redirect from sort name category||A|ambig}}
• {{Redirect from sort name category|2=A|3=ambig}}

Parameter 3

The third parameter, |3=ambig, will alter the text slightly to:

"The pages in this category are redirects from ambiguous sort names to their appropriate target articles. Use uppercase capital letters in these parameters. To add a redirect to this category, place {{Rcat shell | {{R from ambiguous sort name |1=..."
