Purpose

This redirect category (
piped with the target pagename. This allows "what links here" to be used to identify the links to the individual sections. This redirect template populates Category:Redirects from episodes and when the first parameter is not used, Category:Episode redirects to lists
is also populated.

Usage

Use this redirect category template on mainspace
redirects only.

General usage

Add this redirect category to a redirect (not a
talk-page
redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]] {{Redirect category shell| {{R from television episode}} }}

Template {{Redirect category shell}} may be used to add as many appropriate redirect categories as needed. For more information see the documentation on its template documentation.
This redirect category may also tag a redirect individually:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]] {{R from television episode}}

This is in accord with instructions found at
Wikipedia:REDCAT
.

Usage with TV series parameter

An optional unnamed parameter, |1=(name of work), may be used to supply the name of the TV series in which the episode is part of. This will sort the redirect into a more specific category for that work. For example:

{{Redirect category shell| {{R from television episode|1=Friends}} }}

or

{{Redirect category shell| {{R from television episode|Friends}} }}

or

{{R from television episode|Friends}}

All three of the above will populate Category:Friends episode redirects to lists.

Usage with sort key parameter

A second optional unnamed parameter may be used to provide a
category sort key
for the episode that is redirected. For example:

{{Redirect category shell| {{R from television episode|1=Stargate Atlantis|2=Hive, The}} }}

or

{{Redirect category shell| {{R from television episode|Stargate Atlantis|Hive, The}} }}

or

{{R from television episode|Stargate Atlantis|Hive, The}}

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 television episodes are printworthy; however, there are many 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 redirect category templates automatically populate either Category:Printworthy redirects or Category:Unprintworthy redirects
by default. Others, like this 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 templates that are used separately to populate those categories are:

{{R printworthy}}

{{R unprintworthy}}

Usage with printworthy and unprintworthy templates

{{Redirect category shell| {{R from television episode}} {{R printworthy}} }} {{Redirect category shell| {{R from television episode}} {{R unprintworthy}} }}
