Wikipedia:Shortcut index
This is an index of abbreviated redirects and the pages they lead to (mainly in the Wikipedia namespace). For a list of community related shortcuts such as for WikiProjects and Portals, see WP:WPR and WP:PORTCUT, respectively. For a list of shortcuts to Wikipedia talk pages, see WT:WT. For a table of all one-, two-, and three-letter shortcuts, see WP:SCT.
For other useful directories and indexes, see Wikipedia:Directories and indexes.
How to create a shortcut
[edit]Shortcuts exist as redirects pointing from the title of the shortcut (for example, Wikipedia:START) to its target (in this case, Portal:Contents). Notice that project shortcuts are usually listed with the prefix "WP" and not "Wikipedia"; this is because when "WP" or "Wp" appears before a colon in a page name, MediaWiki automatically expands it to "Wikipedia". Therefore, there is no need to create shortcuts literally starting with "WP:" as opposed to "Wikipedia:". Prefixes similar to "WP" can be found at Wikipedia:Shortcut#List of prefixes.
Shortcut redirects should be tagged with Template:R from shortcut(edit talk links history) so they will auto-categorize in Category:Redirects from shortcuts.
- Example: #redirect [[Pagename]] {{R from shortcut}}
