"Shortcuts" in Wikipedia are a specialized type of redirection page that can be used to get to a Wikipedia project reference page more quickly. Lists of available Wikipedia shortcuts can be found at WP:WP = Wikipedia:Shortcuts, WP:WPR = Wikipedia:Project shortcuts, and WT:WT = Wikipedia:Shortcuts to talk pages.

[өңдеу] How to use Wikipedia shortcuts
A Wikipedia shortcut can be entered into the Wikipedia search box to quickly bring you to a reference page.
For example, you can type "WP:R" into the search box and click the "Go" button to get to the Wikipedia "Redirect" reference page, instead of having to type "Wikipedia:Redirect".
Alternatively, you can use the shortcut in the URL (web address). For example, you are currently viewing the Wikipedia:Shortcut page in English. The URL for the English-language page is:
You could get from here to the Wikipedia:Redirect project reference page by replacing "Wikipedia:Shortcut" with "WP:R" in the URL (web address) field (followed by "Enter").
Shortcuts are presented in all capital letters ("All-Caps"), but the search box is case-insensitive. For example, in the search box, you can type "wp:r" instead of "WP:R".
However, using the URL method typically requires that you match the capitalization of the shortcut itself.
[өңдеу] Adding shortcut link boxes
A shortcut link box can be added to a page by placing {{shortcut|[[WP:<x>]]}} at the top of the text while editing. A note from the "shortcut template" page:
- Please do not use this template on other templates, e.g. to state that the shortcut to Template:Foo is in fact {{Foo}}. There's no need to state the obvious like that, each template uses its own name as a shortcut, by default.
Guidelines with shortcuts pointing to them typically use {{guideline|[[WP:<x>]]}} instead of {{shortcut}}, for an example see above. Another example is {{style-guideline|[[WP:<x>]]}}, see also Wikipedia header templates.
[өңдеу] How to create a shortcut
For an existing page like Wikipedia:Template Standardisation create the desired new WP:TS page with a single line: (example, this shortcut already exists)
#REDIRECT[[Wikipedia:Template Standardisation]] {{R from shortcut}}
Many shortcuts are acronyms, others are abbreviations, quite a lot are simply WP:BAD, but technically they are redirections.
[өңдеу] Changing shortcuts
Technically that's easy, click on the shortcut wherever it is, on the page it leads to (a shortcut is a redirect) click on the "redirected from" link (forcing &redirect=no), edit the target #REDIRECT [[Wikipedia:Whatever]], add {{r from shortcut}} if necessary, ready. But there are some potential traps and pitfalls:
- If it's already listed on WP:WP or a similar list like WT:WT please update that entry showing the new target page.
- If the old target page mentions its shortcut that also has to be updated, typically in {{shortcut}} or similar Wikipedia header templates.
- Above all check the shortcut backlinks with "what links here", changing a shortcut used elsewhere can be highly disruptive.
- If it has no backlink folks might still use it directly with search forms, if you're not 100% sure that the old target is unused maybe ask on its talk page.
- For controversial cases there is a "redirects for deletion" procedure WP:RFD.
[өңдеу] List of shortcuts
An incomplete list of shortcuts can be found at Wikipedia:Shortcuts, and as expected this page has itself various shortcuts like WP:WP, WP:CUTS, or just WP:.
Other shortcuts for shortcut lists are WP:WPR with some Wikipedia:Project shortcuts and WT:WT with some Wikipedia:Shortcuts to talk pages. Obviously many shortcuts are (ab)used to make a WP:POINT and best described by WP:WOTTA.
On Meta shortcuts start with WM:, the list is at m:WM:WM. As shown, links to shortcuts on other projects work as expected, but redirects (incl. shortcuts) to pages on other projects won't work - this former feature was abused and hence it has been disabled.
Use special pages to find uncategorized or unlisted pages starting with a given prefix, e.g. Special:Prefixindex/CAT: for some category shortcuts.
