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:
To a monotypic taxon: This is a redirect from the only lower-ranking member of a monotypic taxon to its monotypic taxon. In a biology-related article, when for example a genus has only one species, the
binomial name may be a redirect to the genus.
Use {{
R from monotypic taxon}} instead when making a redirect from a monotypic taxon to its only member, for example, from a family name to its sole genus.
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:
To a monotypic taxon: This is a redirect from the only lower-ranking member of a monotypic taxon to its monotypic taxon. In a biology-related article, when for example a genus has only one species, the
binomial name may be a redirect to the genus.
Use {{
R from monotypic taxon}} instead when making a redirect from a monotypic taxon to its only member, for example, from a family name to its sole genus.

Usage
Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.
#REDIRECT[[(target article title)]]{{Rcat shell|{{R to monotypic taxon}}}}
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 to monotypic taxon}}
This is in accord with instructions found at
WP:REDCAT.
Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from the only lower-ranking member of a
monotypic taxon to its monotypic parent taxon. In a biology-related article, when for example a genus has only one species, the
binomial name may redirect to that genus.
Use {{R from monotypic taxon}} when making a redirect from a monotypic taxon to its only member, for example, from a family name to its sole genus.
An unnamed parameter may be used to specify more precisely the kind of organism involved and to sort the article in the appropriate subcategory. At present the four possible sorts are:
Other parameter values and subcategories may be added.

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 to monotypic taxa are printworthy; however, there are others 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 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:
