Template:R from synonym

When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:

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 synonym: This is a redirect from a semantic synonym of the target page title.
  • For example: automobilecar
  • This template should not be used to tag redirects that are taxonomic synonyms. For taxonomic synonyms use {{R from alternative scientific name}} instead.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from synonyms and, when the redirect is in mainspace, then Category:Printworthy redirects is also populated by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Redirects from synonyms are suitable for a printed version. In other words they are printworthy.

• Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from synonym}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

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

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{R from synonym}}

This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect from a title that is a word that has the same or a similar meaning to (is a synonym of) the target's page name. This rcat should never be applied in the taxonomic sense of "synonym"; it must only tag redirects that are semantic synonyms of their targets, for example:
  • AutomobileCar
  • For taxonomic synonyms use {{R from alternative scientific name}} instead.
