Template:Shortcut3/doc

This is the documentation for shortcut3 and its sister templates. (maybe someday)

shortcut-l flows to the left of the page and shortcut3 flows to the right.

Usage
These templates are mainly for use on pages and talk pages in the Commons: (Project:), Help: and Portal: namespaces. These templates inform about the shortcuts available to the page they are on. For example, COM:COM redirects to COM, and therefore that page has a shortcut box listing COM:COM.

The point of these templates is not to list every single redirect (Special:Whatlinkshere does that); for any given page, instead they should list only one or two common and easily-remembered redirects.

These templates can take up to 5 shortcuts as parameters.

For policy pages you can use policy shortcut which takes up to 10 shortcuts as parameters. (we may someday port this template from w:Template:Policy shortcut)

Anchors
These boxes automatically add anchors. If someone places a shortcut box with the shortcut COM:COM on the page COM, then the link COM will take you to shortcut box position in the page.

For instance, try this link: Template:Shortcut3

Thus if you make a shortcut for a section of a page then you can use the anchor in the shortcut redirect. Like this:


 * 1) REDIRECT Pagename
