साँचा: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#Optional very long section name]]

3. 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 विकिस्रोत, Help, and Category namespaces. These templates inform about the shortcuts available to the page they are on. For example, वि:RFD redirects to विकिस्रोत:Requests for deletion and therefore विकिस्रोत:Requests for deletion renders a shortcut box listing वि: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.

Examples

Code	Result
{{shortcut|वि:AA}}
{{shortcut|वि:CHAT|वि:RR/G}}

Anchors

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

For instance, try this link: #वि:AA

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:

#REDIRECT [[Pagename#वि:RFD]]
