- 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:
- the name of a former company වෙතින් මෙය යළියොමු කිරීමකිFrom predecessor company name: වෙතට a successor company.
- This applies to mergers and acquisitions – if this redirect resulted from a company that changed its name, then use {{R from former name}} instead.
 | This template should not be substituted nor used to tag soft redirects. |
Purpose
සංස්කරණයThe article composition guidelines, as monitored and set forth by WikiProject Companies, state that a company article should generally be about the current company and its predecessors. This guideline is best suited for cases where one or more otherwise non-notable companies merge to form a notable company or a notable company has acquired an otherwise non-notable company. De-mergers and complex ancestry cases should not take advantage of this redirect category template.
Usage
සංස්කරණය- This redirect category (rcat) template places pages in ප්රවර්ගය:Redirects from predecessor company names by default. Add this rcat to a redirect (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT [[(target article title)]]
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from predecessor company name}}
}}
- 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 predecessor company name}}
- This is in accord with instructions found at WP:REDCAT.
- Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from the name of a former company that has merged into or was acquired by a successor company. Redirects that result from a simple name change should be tagged with {{R from former name}} instead.

Printworthiness
සංස්කරණය | 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 redirects from predecessor company names are considered printworthy; however, there are many others that are 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 predecessor company name}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}
{{Rcat shell|
{{R from predecessor company name}}
{{R unprintworthy}}
}}
- Either {{Redirect category shell}} or its alias/shortcut, {{Rcat shell}}, may be used.
