{{Category redirect| 16th-century people from Bohemia|{{R from category navigation}}}}
If more than one "R from" templates are applicable, as onCategory:Years of the 19th century in Sri Lanka, donot use a pipe between the two. They should both be included in the second parameter:
{{Category redirect| Years of the 19th century in Ceylon|{{R from category navigation}}{{R from template-generated category}}}}
If a category redirect is intended to be kept when the above templates are not applicable, e.g. for alternative spellings, then add|keep=yes to suppress a deletion link that is usually displayed to administrators. It is not necessary to specify this when using the "R from" templates, because this function is switched on by their presence. It isnot automatically enabled when a Wikidata item is attached to the category (seethe next section), because caching issues often prevent the link from showing up when the category redirect was a temporary addition. If such a redirect should be kept, add|keep=yes.
This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.
