Template:Shortcut/doc

This is the documentation for shortcut.

Usage

 * 1) Insert the shortcut.  If it is to a section, put it on the line above the section title.
 * 2) Create a redirect page with the name of the page based on your shortcut name.  Include the namespace name in both the shortcut name and the redirect page name. For example, substituting your own shortcut name as the title of the page, and substituting the proper namespace, add the following as the top-line on your redirect page:
 * #REDIRECT Namespace:Title of page with
 * 1) Verify operation.  Note that shortcut templates should display in all capitals.

These templates are mainly used on user pages and talk pages in reference to Wikibooks, Help, and Category namespaces. These templates inform about the shortcuts available to the page they are on. For example, WB:RFD redirects to Requests for deletion and therefore Wikibooks:Requests for deletion renders a shortcut box listing WB:RFD.

The point of these templates is not to list every single redirect for a page (indeed, that's what "What links here" is for), instead they should list only one or two common and easily-remembered redirects.

The shortcut template can take up to five shortcuts as parameters.

Anchors
These templates automatically add anchors. If a shortcut box with the shortcut WB:RFD is placed on the page Requests for deletion then the link Requests for deletion will take you to the position in the page where that shortcut box is placed.

For instance, try this link:

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