සැකිල්ල:R from acronym

When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:

Template {Redirect category shell} may be used to add one or more rcat templates, along with their parameters and categories, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation page below.

When used by itself:

From an acronym: මෙය an acronym සිට a related topic, such as the expansion of the acronym වෙතට යළියොමු කිරීමකි.
- Remember that an acronym is a special type of initialism that can be spoken as a word, such as "NATO" or "radar" or "ANOVA".
- Use {R from initialism} for abbreviations that have letters that are pronounced separately, such as "OAU" or "USSR" or "DoD".

සැකිලි ප්‍රලේඛනය[නරඹන්න] [සංස්කරණය] [ඉතිහාසය] [විරේචනය]

Usage

This redirect category (rcat) template populates ප්‍රවර්ගය:Redirects from acronyms. Add this rcat to a redirect page, not a talk page, in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]

{Rcat shell|
{R from acronym}
}

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 acronym}

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

Use this rcat on all redirects from acronyms to their expanded forms. Please do not use this template for initialisms that are not also acronyms. Instead, use the {R from initialism} rcat. Also, if the redirect is from the initials of a personal name, then use {R from short name} instead.

Printworthiness

In main-article namespace, many acronym redirects to expanded forms are considered printworthy; however, there are many others that are thought to be unprintworthy, 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 ප්‍රවර්ගය:Printworthy redirects or ප්‍රවර්ගය: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:

{R printworthy} and
{R unprintworthy}

Please click on each one for more details and guidance.

Template {Redirect category shell} will accept these rcats just like any other.

Examples:

{Rcat shell|
{R from acronym}
{R printworthy}
}

{Rcat shell|
{R from acronym}
{R unprintworthy}
}

Either {Redirect category shell} or its alias/shortcut, {Rcat shell}, may be used.
