[edit] What is a TESWiki shortcut?
"Shortcuts" in TESWiki are a specialized type of Redirection page that can be used to get to a TESWiki project reference page more quickly.
[edit] How to use TESWiki shortcuts
A TESWiki shortcut can be entered into the TESWiki search box to quickly bring you to a reference page. It helps if you like the page or you are working on that page and it takes a long time to get to.
For example, you can type "TESWiki:C" into the search box and click the "Go" button to get to the TESWiki "Copyrights" reference page, instead of having to type "The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Copyrights".
Alternatively, you can use the shortcut in the URL (web address). For example, you are currently viewing the The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Shortcut page in English. The URL is http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki:Shortcut. You could get from here to the The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Copyrights project reference page by replacing "The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Shortcut" with "TESWiki:C" 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 "teswiki:c" instead of "TESWiki:C".
However, using the URL method typically requires that you match the capitalization of the shortcut.
[edit] TESWiki shortcut policy
Reserved for TESWiki project reference pages (The Elder Scrolls Wiki: namespace) only.
[edit] Adding shortcut link boxes
A shortcut link box (the "shortcut template") is added to the entry source ("Editing" page) using
{{title-shortcut|TESWiki:<x>}}.
For example, placing the shortcut template and substituting SHORT for <X> gives the template viewable at the top of the page: {{title-shortcut|TESWiki:SHORT}}
