Usage
- This redirect category (rcat) template populates both Category:Redirects from IMO numbers and Category:Unprintworthy redirects 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. Since this encyclopedia is not a directory, redirects from IMO numbers are not suitable for a printed version. In other words such redirects are unprintworthy.
 | Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this 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. |
- Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
- REDIRECT (target article title)
This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
|
</syntaxhighlight>
- The sort key for the category is the IMO number without the "IMO" prefix. As long as these instructions are followed, this rcat will automatically sort the redirect by its number.
- 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">
- REDIRECT (target article title)
- From an IMO number: This is a redirect from a title that is an IMO number to an article about the corresponding ship, ship owner or management company.
</syntaxhighlight>
- Again, the sort key for the category is the IMO number without the "IMO" prefix. And as long as these instructions are followed, this rcat will automatically sort the redirect by its number.
- This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from an International Maritime Organization number (IMO number) to an article about the corresponding ship, ship owner or management company.
