Template:R from subsidiary title/doc


 * This redirect category (Rcat) template is for special cases of R from incorrect name.
 * This template populates the Redirects from subsidiary titles and Unprintworthy redirects categories.

Purpose
This template is used to label a redirect as being for a subsidiary title in the peerage system - an hereditary title held by a royal or a noble but which is not regularly used to identify that person.

This template marks a redirect as one that ought not be used, and provides the correct hereditary title. Any link to a redirect page transcluding this template ought to be changed to the correct hereditary title.

This template inserts the redirect into the following categories:
 * Category:Redirects from subsidiary titles – according to protocol, these redirects should never be used in articles; only the correct hereditary title should ever be used in Main article namespace
 * Category:Unprintworthy redirects – unprintworthy redirects would not be used in a printed version; for example, no unprintworthy redirect would be used in an index for a printed encyclopedia

With a correct hereditary title specified for all uses of this template, repairing links to the redirect page becomes simple: the link to the redirect page should be changed to the link to the correct hereditary title. Given the correct hereditary title is specified for each case below, it should always be easy to fix links to these redirects.
