This is the template documentation page for {{Shortcut}}. It is not intended to be viewed directly. If it uses variables, some links may appear broken. Do not replace these variables with hardcoded page names or URLs. |
Usage
This template is used on MidrangeWiki guideline and policy pages to show the shortest alias(es) of a given page.
This shows the cross-namespace redirects from the Main namespace into the MidrangeWiki namespace.
For example, MidW:SIGN -> MidrangeWiki:Signatures.
The point of this template is not to list every single redirect (indeed, that's what Special:Whatlinkshere is for); for any given page, it should list only one or two common and easily-remembered redirects.
Don't use this template on other templates, e.g. to state that the shortcut to Template:Foo is in fact {{Foo}}. There's no need to state the obvious like that, by default every template uses its own name as a shortcut.
