| text = [[Template:R template index]] is an index of redirect category templates. It should not be transcluded nor substituted to any page in Wikipedia.  ''Template {{tl|R help}} redirects here.''  If you see this warning in the history ([[Help:Diff|diff]]) of a redirect, then template <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:R to help|R '''''to''''' help]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> was probably meant instead. Please replace template {{tl|R help}} with template '''{{tl|R to help}}'''.

This template index page furnishes editors with a practical tool to quickly find the [[WP:RCAT|redirect category templates]] (Rcats) that are used most often. This index template organises the templates by function and, in some cases, provides examples of where and when to use them. For a complete alphabetical list of redirect category templates, see [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages]].  The procedure to use for placing these Rcats on redirects will be found at [[WP:REDCAT]].

==Notes==
* {{tl|This is a redirect}} can be used to group redirect category templates. This is useful with one exception: When you place an Rcat on a redirect that gives you the choice to change from one category to another, then you will not be able to use the {{tl|This is a redirect}} template. The Rcat {{tl|R from plural}} is a good example of this. {{tl|R from plural}} is used to redirect from a plural title to a singular one. Most of these redirects are "unprintworthy", so {{tl|R from plural}} automatically places those redirects in [[:Category:Unprintworthy redirects]]. To identify a redirect from a plural title as printworthy in combination with {{tl|This is a redirect}}, use {{tl|R from printworthy plural}} as the redirect template name.
* For Talk pages, there are only certain redirect category templates you should use. The only Rcats that apply to Talk pages are {{tl|R to talk}}, {{tl|R from shortcut}}, those associated with moves, merges and cross-namespace redirects.  For more information, click on the templates.
