Use this rcat template on mainspace redirects only.
This redirect category (rcat) template populates Category:Redirects from songs 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. Since redirected song titles are already mentioned in album and film articles, they are usually not needed in a printed version unless they are notable enough to have their own articles. In other words they are usually unprintworthy. See below for the few song redirects that are printworthy.
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.
Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT[[(target article title)]]{{Rcat shell|{{R from song}}{{R unprintworthy}}}}
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 song}}
This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a song title to a more general, relevant article such as an album, film or artist. Targeting the specific album or film in which the song appears is preferable and linking to the artist should be done only when the album or film does not have a page on Wikipedia.
By default, this template places redirects in the Unprintworthy redirects category. To tag and categorize a redirect as printworthy use the unnamed parameter in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell|{{R from song|1=printworthy}}{{R printworthy}}}}
or the 1= may be omitted:
{{Rcat shell|{{R from song|printworthy}}{{R printworthy}}}}
