සැකිල්ල:R from other capitalisation/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This rcat populates both ප්‍රවර්ගය:Redirects from other capitalisations, which must be populated by main-article namespace (mainspace) redirects only, and ප්‍රවර්ගය:Unprintworthy redirects. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Most redirects to other capitalisations are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are unprintworthy. See below for what to do for the few redirects from other capitalisations that are printworthy.

• Place this rcat after the mainspace redirect target (not on any talk page) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from other capitalisation}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

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 article title)]]

{{R from other capitalisation}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a title with another method of capitalisation. It leads to the title in accordance with the Wikipedia naming conventions for capitalisation and may help writing, searching and international language issues.
• If this rcat is placed on any redirect in a namespace other than mainspace, it will not appear on the redirect, and it will not place the redirect in the Redirects from other capitalisations category. Instead, the redirect will be placed in ප්‍රවර්ගය:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace and will require repair. When an other-capitalisation redirect is not in mainspace, then use {{R from modification}} instead.
• Important note: Other capitalisations that are incorrect capitalisations should not be tagged with this rcat – use {{R from miscapitalisation}} instead.
• Other variants should use one of the other rcats such as {{R from alternative spelling}} or {{R from alternative name}}.

Parameters

• |1=printworthy – By default, this template tags and categorizes redirects as unprintworthy. Use the first parameter to subdue this behavior and populate ප්‍රවර්ගය:Printworthy redirects in the following manner:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from other capitalisation|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

or

{{R from other capitalisation|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}

• |2=text, |of=text or |reason=text, use of any of these will change:

"...from a title with another method of capitalisation. It leads to..."

to:

"...from a title with another method of capitalisation of text."

This is useful when the term redirected from is an alternative capitalisation of a different name for or subtopic of the article title rather than of the title itself. For example, the redirect Northern Blue Jay:

#REDIRECT [[Blue jay#Subspecies]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subtopic}}
{{R to section}}
{{R from other capitalisation|of=the redirect {{-r|Northern blue jay}}}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

or if applied individually:

#REDIRECT [[Blue jay#Subspecies]]

{{R from subtopic}}
{{R to subsection}}
{{R from other capitalisation|of=the redirect {{-r|Northern blue jay}}}}
{{R unprintworthy}}

Aliases

• Also known as... (list of all redirects to this template that may also be used).
• {{R from other capitalization}} (American "z" rather than British "s")
• Some other specific cases can also be more specifically flagged:
  • {{R from uppercase}} (e.g. "Mountain Lion" → "Mountain lion")
  • {{R from lowercase}} (e.g. "The lord of the rings" → "The Lord of the Rings")
  • {{R from all caps}} (e.g. "SONY" → "Sony")
  • {{R from mixed case}} (for randomly jumbled case, e.g. "ComPanY nAmE" → "Company Name", which are known as "StudlyCaps")

• For redirects from historically-based "CamelCase" titles, please use the separate template:
  • {{R from CamelCase}}

• If a redirect is from an excessively capitalized title that violates WP:NCCAPS and MOS:CAPS, please use the template:
  • {{R from miscapitalisation}} a.k.a. R from miscapitalization (American "z" rather than British "s")
