When template {{Redirect category shell}} (Rcat shell) is used to add one or more rcats to a redirect, there is no need to include this rcat. Rcat shell detects protection levels automatically, so by default it will add this rcat to a redirect when it is first protected and then remove it from the redirect if and when protection is lifted. See Rcat shell's template documentation for details.
If used by itself, add this rcat to a redirect as follows:
This is in accordance with the instructions given at Wikipedia:REDCAT.
Use this rcat to categorize extended-protected (full name extended-confirmed protected) redirects. Adding this rcat and populating the Extended-protected redirects category does not in and of itself protect the redirect. Page protection can only be engaged by administrators.

Printworthiness
Please do not alter the printworthy settings of this rcat without first notifying the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, who are responsible for any and all materials, including redirects, that go into a printed version of Wikipedia.
In main-article namespace, many extended-protected redirects are considered unprintworthy; however, there are many others that are printworthy, so there is no default sort for printworthiness. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the Wikimedia Foundation's goal of increasing access and availability of Wikipedia articles in printed versions. Some rcats automatically populate either ‹The templateCat is being considered for merging.›Category:Printworthy redirects or ‹The templateCat is being considered for merging.›Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default. Others, like this rcat, do not, and that means it is up to editors to choose which of those categories, Printworthy or Unprintworthy, is appropriate and should be populated. The rcats that are used separately to populate those categories are:
