This rcat template is automatically added to all new redirects that result from page moves; it must be added manually to older redirects when appropriate.
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 page move: This is a redirect from a page that has been moved (renamed). This page was kept as a redirect to avoid breaking links, both internal and external, that may have been made to the old page name.
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:
From a page move: This is a redirect from a page that has been moved (renamed). This page was kept as a redirect to avoid breaking links, both internal and external, that may have been made to the old page name.
If you plan to make
breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify
Twinkle's users and maintainers at
Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you!
For all
redirects that have a page move logged on their history page(s), add this rcat in the following manner:
#REDIRECT[[(target page name)]]{{Rcat shell|{{R from move}}}}
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:
Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace that has a
page move (rename) logged in their
page history (this should be checked at least three pages back into the page history, a check which takes just a few seconds). This tagging has become automated; however, there are still many older redirects from moves that need to be manually tagged by this rcat.

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 moved pages are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are printworthy, 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 rcats automatically populate either
Category:Printworthy redirects or
Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, 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 separately to populate those categories are:
Whenever page moves result in the inadvertent
talk page redirect that targets a different page than the talk page of the
subject-page redirect's target, then the talk page and the subject page will not be synchronized, and this template will also populate:
Moved pages that are exceptions, for example, pages and subpages that redirect to talk pages to centralize discussions, can be added to the {{R from move/except}} page.
