New page

{{documentation subpage}}

This is the documentation for {{tl|shortcut}} and its sister templates.

{{tl|shortcut-l}} flows to the left of the page and {{tl|shortcut}} flows to the right.

=== Usage ===

These templates are mainly used on pages and talk pages in the MiddleWiki, Help and Portal namespaces. These templates inform about the shortcuts available to the page they are on. For example, [[MW:SHORT]] redirects to [[MiddleWiki:Shortcut]] and therefore MiddleWiki:Shortcut has a shortcut box listing MW:SHORT.

The point of these templates is not to list every single redirect (indeed, that's what [[Special:Whatlinkshere]] is for); for any given page, instead they should list only one or two common and easily-remembered redirects.

These templates can take up to 5 shortcuts as parameters.

For policy pages you can use {{t1|policy shortcut}} which takes up to 10 shortcuts as parameters.

=== Examples ===

{| class="wikitable"
! Code
! Result
|-
| valign="top" | {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|MW:SHORT}}
| {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|MW:SHORT}}
|-
| valign="top" | {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|MW:V|MW:VERIFY|MW:SOURCE}}
| {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|MW:V|MW:VERIFY|MW:SOURCE}}
|}

=== Anchors ===

These boxes automatically adds anchors. If a shortcut box with the shortcut [[AE:SHORT]] is placed on the page [[AEWiki:Shortcut]] then the link [[AEWiki:Shortcut#AE:SHORT]] will take you to the position in the page where that shortcut box is placed.

For instance, try this link: [[Template:Shortcut#AE:SHORT]]

Thus if you make a shortcut for a section of a page then you can use the anchor in the shortcut redirect. Like this:

:<code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Pagename#AE:SHORT]] {{R from shortcut}}</nowiki></code>
