When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:
This page is a
redirect. The following
categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
From a product or service: This is a redirect from a title that is the name of a product or service to a more general, relevant article such as the company or person that sells it.
This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for
common names and can help writing and searches. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a
piped link.
When appropriate,
protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
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:

#REDIRECT[[(target article title)]]{{Rcat shell|{{R from product}}}}
when the product or service has the
possibility of becoming notable with its own article, then:
#REDIRECT[[(target article title)]]{{Rcat shell|{{R from product}}{{R with possibilities}}{{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.

#REDIRECT[[(target article title)]]{{R from product}}
Use this rcat on any mainspace redirect from a title that is a product or service to a more general, relevant article such as the company or person that sells the product or service.

Printworthiness
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.
In main-article namespace, many redirects from products or services are considered printworthy with the possibility of becoming notable; however, there are also many that are unprintworthy, so there is no default sort for
