Template:R from modification

• From a modification: This is a redirect from a modification of the target's title or a closely related title. For example, the words may be rearranged.
  • Please note that there are many more specific templates. Please use {{R from alternative spelling}}, {{R from alternative hyphenation}}, {{R from alternative punctuation}}, {{R from alternative spacing}} and {{R from misquotation}} where relevant; see subcategories of Category:Redirects from modifications for other options (capitals, abbreviations, diacritics, plurals, stylizations, transliteration, ligatures, different parts of speech, etc.). If you are unsure which to use, this template is fine; someone will make it more specific later if necessary.
  • In cases of modification from distinctly longer or shorter names, please use {{R from long name}} or {{R from short name}}, respectively. An abbreviation should be tagged with {{R from initialism}} or, if it can be spoken like a word such as NASA and RADAR, use {{R from acronym}}.
  • Use this rcat instead of {{R from other capitalisation}} and {{R from plural}} in namespaces other than mainspace for those types of modification. This may also apply to several other subcategories of modification; please check those templates' output before saving if using outside of mainspace.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from modifications. Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from modification}}
}}

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 page name)]]

{{R from modification}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect in any namespace that is a modification of the target's title; for example, its words are rearranged, etc.
• If the redirect is from a title including the numeral form of a number to a title with the worded form, use the template {{R from numerals}} instead. If it is from the worded form to the numeral form, then use {{R to numerals}}.
• In cases of modification from distinctly shorter or longer names, instead please use {{R from short name}} or {{R from long name}}, respectively.
• Since rcats like {{R from other capitalisation}} and {{R from plural}} are only used in main-article namespace, this R from modification rcat is useful for other capitalisations, plurals, etc., in namespaces other than mainspace.
• This template should not be used with {{R from transliteration}}, which populates a subcategory of this rcat's category.

Parameters

This rcat takes two optional parameters:

• |demo=yes suppresses categorization for demonstration purposes.
• |1= or |of= will show the redirect as being a modification of the provided title, rather than the redirect target.
