When used with the "Redirect category shell" (Rcat shell) template:
 This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
|
When used by itself:
{{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}. Ifnotability of the subject can be shown, then consider being bold and converting this redirect into an article on the subtopic, with proper independent reliable sources. | This template should notbesubstituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
This redirect category (rcat) template populates ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Redirects from subsidiaries. This may include any kind of subsidiary of the target subject, most often a subsidiary companies, department, division, project, or other business unit; but could be a similar sub-division of a non-commercial entity (e.g. an affiliate or chapter of an NGO, a division of an agency/ministry).
Add this rcat to a redirect page (notatalk-page redirect) in the following manner, in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT:
#REDIRECT [[Target article title]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subsidiary}}
}}
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, without {{Rcat shell}}, though this is now deprecated:
#REDIRECT [[Target article title]]
{{R from subsidiary}}
Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect that is a subsidiary, in the broad sense, of the target (i.e., when the relationship is more specific that one that would call for the generic {{R from subtopic}} / ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Redirects from subtopics "parent" rcat of this one). This type of redirect might target an article section ({{R to section}}) and may also have "possibilities" ({{R with possibilities}}) of becoming a separate Wikipedia article (i.e. when you can already determine that the subject is likely to pass WP:Notability (organizations and companies) because you can find non-trivial coverage of the subsidiary in multiple, independent, reliable sources). Use those two rcats along with this one, {{R from subtopic}}, when appropriate.
To go to a subsection (for this redirect in particular or at least including coverage of it somewhere within):
#REDIRECT [[Target article title#Section name]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subsidiary}}
{{R to section}}
}}
The parameter |of= can be used to specify the entity of which this redirecting subject is a subsidiary, for the unusual case that this redirect's target is not that parent entity, but something else, such as the founder of both entities. In such a case, both this redirect and the value of |of= should redirect to the same target.
Example:
#REDIRECT [[Xander Yojimbo Ziegfeld#Charities]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subsidiary|of=Ziegfeld Family Foundation}}
{{R to section}}
}}
This is a rather self-testing parameter; because it wikilinks the value of |of=, it will glaringly redlink if you input an invalid value:
From a subsidiary: This is a redirect from a subsidiary of Ziegfeld Family Foundation, which also redirects to the related target subject.
 | 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. |
{{R printworthy}}{{R unprintworthy}}{{Redirect category shell}} will accept these rcats just like any other.{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subsidiary}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from subsidiary}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
{{Redirect category shell}} or its shortcut {{Rcat shell}} may be used.
In the majority of cases, including redirects to sections, a subsidiary name is printworthy, unless the redirect in question is also an {{R from misspelling}} or similar misnomer.
Some things that are not aliases of this template:
