This is the documentation for {{shortcut}} and its sister templates. Template {{shortcut}} renders a box, informing editors which shortcuts are available for linking to a page or a section of a page.
The shortcut family of templates is put into context here, but they each have their own documentation pages, see below. A shortcut template is similar to the {{anchor}} template, but it adds a visual box graphic to the rendered page, as well as providing an alternative name. Creating a redirect page is a requirement to fulfill the shortcut mechanism.
In templates, it is put in the documentation page.
