This template is primarily used on Wikipedia guideline and policy pages to show the shortest alias of a given page. For example, | This template is primarily used on Wikipedia guideline and policy pages to show the shortest alias of a given page. For example, WP:SHORT redirects to [[Wikipedia:Shortcut]].

Don't use this template on other templates, e.g. to state that the shortcut to Template:Foo is in fact <nowiki>{{Foo}}</nowiki>.
