When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:

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 song's cover version: This is a redirect from a cover version of a song to the article about the original song this redirect's version covers. This accords with editing guidelines located at WP:SONGDAB.
    • Use this rcat only on redirects that are in Wikipedia's main-article namespace, and only when the redirect's topic is a song which is a cover version of its target. If it is not a cover version of its target, use {{R from song}} instead.

Usage

  • Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from cover song}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
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 from cover song}}
This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
  • Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a song title to a more general, relevant article such as an album, film or artist. Targeting the specific album or film in which the song appears is preferable and linking to the artist should be done only when the album or film does not have a page on Wikipedia.
  • By default, this template places redirects in the Unprintworthy redirects category. To tag and categorize a redirect as printworthy use the unnamed parameter in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from cover song|1=printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
or the 1= may be omitted:
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from song|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
and if applied individually:
{{R from cover song|printworthy}}
{{R printworthy}}
That will subdue the Unprintworthy redirects category and place the redirect in Category:Printworthy redirects.
