Template:R from species to genus/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from species to genus by default. Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Rcat shell|
{{R from species to genus}}
}}

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 species to genus}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a taxon's full binomial name (genus & species) to the taxon's higher level genus.
  • Also use {{R to monotypic taxon}} when redirecting to a monospecific genus.
  • Use {{R taxon with possibilities}} for redirects that could potentially be expanded into their own articles.
