Shortcut:

The template documentation below is transcluded from Template:Shortcut/doc [edit]

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.
