Template talk:R from ASCII-only

replies: text: I found it useful.  I'm categorizing redirects for an eventual paper edition, and was able to use the template to put all ASCII redirects into :Category:Unprintworthy redirects, since "See: Spelled exactly the same, minus the dots and squiggles" in an alphebatized print volume is a waste of space.  That's just my hack of the system, tho': the real reson d'ee of this template is that categories & text appended to redirects are automatically deleted if they're not all on the same line as the redirect itself.  The template allows an easy escape from this quirk of the system.--Joel 23:49, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Purpose 

message: I'm going to un-link the word diacritic.  There's simply no need for the diacritic page to have thousands of "What Links Here" references to redirects that are not about diacritics (by definition).  Anybody that's confused about the meaning of the word can easily look at the category page.  Same for "See also".

thread_title:  Description 

message: Hi, using templates within redirects is deprecated, so the  templates shouldn't be used anymore, although categories in redirects are probably safe. See discussion. Wmahan. 05:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deprecated 

message: Hi- I think there are errors in the code, some of the categories on the /doc pg need to be in "includeonly" on the template page. The ones in "includeonly" on the /doc pg would only categorize the template, not its transclusions, right? --Funandtrvl (talk) 20:11, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, heck – I hate to make this more complicated, but I looked at the pages that link here by transclusion, and I don't see any ASCII code in any of those titles in the first 1000 pages.  Am I missing something? – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 12:42, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proper usage 

message: – wonder if you could do me a favor and lower the move protection to include template editors or, if you feel this template should retain its full move protection, would you be so kind as to move this template as follows?
 → 
This uncontroversial move is to a name that is more descriptive and coincides with a proposal to move the category in this discussion.  I've already moved  → , and if you decide to move this page yourself, I shall be happy to make the followup /doc, /sandbox moves and fix any double redirects. – Paine  08:04, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: You? the Greatest! and the pink full-protection notice still existed on the move page, yet I was able to rename it anyway.  Thank you very much, HJ Mitchell! – Paine  18:38, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
