For more information see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)#(target section header)]]

{{R to section}}

This is in accord with instructions found at

Wikipedia:REDCAT

Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace to the header/subheader of a section of a page in which the subject is mentioned. Technically, a section with a header is a type of "
anchor" on a page that may be linked from inside or outside of Wikipedia. The {{R to anchor}} rcat should not be used for section headers. It should only be used for other types of anchors that are embedded in lists, tables or anywhere else, but not section headers. If an anchor redirect targets an entry in a list, then {{R to list entry
}} may also be used.

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
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:

{{R printworthy}} and
{{R unprintworthy}}

Please click on each one for more details and guidance.

Template {{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.

Examples:

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to section}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

{{Rcat shell|
{{R to section}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

Either {{

Rcat shell

}}, may be used.
