From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the documentation for {{shortcut}} and its sister templates. The shortcut family of templates is put in context here, but they each have their own documentation pages.

A shortcut template is a sort of evolved anchor template, but it adds a visual box graphic to the rendered page as well as providing an alternative name. Creating a redirect page is a requirement to fulfill the shortcut mechanism.
The characteristics of the box graphic are determined by which of the family of shortcut templates are chosen. For example the policy shortcut box has the word policy on it for use on policy pages. The graphic alignment of the box depends on the whether its a shortcut or a shortcut-l.
- {{shortcut}} – right-aligned box.
- {{shortcut-l}} – left aligned box.
- {{policy shortcut}} – shortcut that also says "policy".
- {{Ombox/Shortcut}} – shortcut that embeds into message boxes.
This template is not normally used for articles in the main namespace because the graphic produces an avoidable self-reference.
