==Usage==
==Usage==
This template is primarily used on Wikipedia guideline and policy pages to show the shortest alias of a given page. For example, [[WP:V]] redirects to [[Wikipedia:Verification]]


Please '''do not use''' this template on other templates, e.g. to state that the shortcut to [[Template:Foo]] is in fact <nowiki>{{Foo}}</nowiki>. There's no need to state the obvious like that, '''each''' template uses its own name as a shortcut, by default.
This template is taken fFrom Wikipedia and is used to show the shortest alias of a given page. For example, [[WP:V]] redirects to [[Wikipedia:Verification]]
 
Usage is this:
 
in your main page, you place the fFollowing:
 
<nowiki>{{shortcut|[[XXX]]}}</nowiki>
 
Where XXX is the shortcut name you want to use.  XXX will then be a link. Then you need to go to your new blank page XXX and create a redirect.  That is done like this:
 
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[My Original Page With A Very Long Name]]</nowiki>
 
Then you may always use the shortened page name XXX as a valid page, and you will have a swanky little grey box on the side of your page pointing people towards that shortcut.
 


This text was stolen straight out of http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Shortcut&action=edit -- I'll edit it fFor use if i can make it work.
