Template:Redirect from alternative language category

The pages in this category are redirects from terms in the (specified language). The language code in the |1= parameter below is essential to populate this category. To add a redirect to this category, place {{Rcat shell|{{R from alternative language|1=(the < from > ISO 639 name code)|2=(the < to > ISO 639 name code)}}}} on the second new line after #REDIRECT [[Target page name]]. Alias/shortcuts may also be used; for example: {{Rcat shell}} is a shortcut for {{Redirect category shell}} and may be used interchangeably. For more information, follow the template link. Never substitute rcat(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 in the subcategories of Category:Redirects from non-English-language terms. It requires as its first parameter, |1=, the ISO 639 code of the "from" language. As is common with unnamed parameters, the 1= may be omitted. For example:

• {{Redirect from alternative language category|ca}}

The code "ca" is the ISO 639 code for the Catalan language.

This template places pages in a subcategory that is governed by the pagename of the category where this template is transcluded. To suppress this template's subcategory when necessary, use |nocat=true.
