This template may also carry and hold other templates within it. Even the {{DEFAULTSORT}} magic word and a sort key may be used either inside this template or below it. Another template commonly used within the Redirect category shell template is {{Italic title}} and its shortcut to format titles in italics. Some rcats such as {{R from book}} and {{R from film}} automatically format the redirect names in italics. Any appropriate template may be used within this shell template in the following manner:

{{Redirect category shell|{{R from move}}{{R from alternative name}}{{Italic title}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hobbit, The}}}}
