Template:R from CVE/doc

Usage

Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.

• This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures and Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Mainspace redirects from CVE identifiers are not usually suitable for a printed version. In other words such redirects are generally unprintworthy. See below for how to tag those few redirects that are printworthy.

• Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from CVE}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}

Template {{Redirect category shell}} 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 CVE}}
{{R unprintworthy}}

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

• Use this rcat to tag any redirect in mainspace from a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier to a software bug, exploit, or other information security vulnerability.

Printability

• |printworthy=yes – By default, this template tags and categorizes redirects as unprintworthy. Use the printworthy parameter to subdue this behavior and populate Category:printworthy redirects in the following manner:

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from CVE|printworthy=yes}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

or

{{R from CVE|printworthy=yes}}
{{R printworthy}}
