Teamplaid:Shortcut/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Teamplaid:Shortcut.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original teamplaid page.

Usage

This template is primarily used on Wikipedia guideline and policy pages to show the shortest alias of a given page. For example, WP:SHORT redirects to Wikipedia:Shortcut. The point of this template is not to list every single redirect (indeed, that's what Special:Whatlinkshere is for); for any given page, it should list only one or two common and easily-remembered redirects.

Don't use this template on other templates, e.g. to state that the shortcut to Teamplaid:Foo is in fact {{Foo}}. There's no need to state the obvious like that, by default every template uses its own name as a shortcut.

This template can take up to five shortcuts as parameters. For more parameters (up to 10) use {{policy shortcut}}.

The first parameter can be linked or unlinked; the remaining parameters must be unlinked.
