Usage
- This a special redirect (rcat) template. It is "special" because it tags hard redirects that are connected to items on Wikidata. Use the {{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}} rcat template to tag soft redirects that connect to Wikidata items. Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
- REDIRECT (target article title)

</syntaxhighlight>
- 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:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
- From a cross-project redirect: This is a redirect from a title linked to an item on Wikidata. The Wikidata item linked to this page is (no entity).
- Use this template only on hard redirects – for soft redirects use {{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}}.
</syntaxhighlight>
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat on all hard redirects in any namespace from titles that are used as connections to other Wikimedia projects. See the category for examples.
Parameter
This rcat takes one unnamed parameter, |1=(Wikidata item #), that may be used when a Wikidata "Q" number does not readily fill in, and you know that it exists on Wikidata. Examples follow:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
- REDIRECT (target article title)
This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
|
</syntaxhighlight>
- where the item number on Wikidata is Q21491525 – the "Q" prefix is optional:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
- REDIRECT (target article title)
This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
|
</syntaxhighlight>
| Technical note This template will automatically enter the item number if the redirect title is on Wikidata and is linked from that page. Any editor who is familiar with Wikidata can connect a redirect page to a Wikidata item, if also adding a redirect badge (usually intentional sitelink to redirect (Q70894304)) to it. See also the d:Help:Sitelinks page on Wikidata. |

Error detection
This template automatically places redirects that are not linked to Wikidata items in the tracking category Category:Unlinked Wikidata redirects. Please fix these, either by removing {{R with Wikidata item}} or by linking them to Wikidata (using the (Q70894304) badge to avoid running into an error).
Printworthiness
 | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of any rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia. |
- In main-article namespace, many redirects with Wikidata items are considered printworthy; however, there are also many that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcat templates automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat template, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used to populate those categories are:
{{R printworthy}}and{{R unprintworthy}}
- Please click on each one for more details and guidance.
