| Shortcut: |
On the AoPSWiki, shortcuts are designed to make AoPS policy pages (usually in the namespace AoPS Wiki: or Help:) more readily accessible by creating short memorable shortcut phrases which automatically redirect to the guideline page. Entering a shortcut under search and clicking "Search" automatically takes the reader to the policy page, saving time.
Creating Shortcuts
On the page of the shortcut, add the line:
#REDIRECT [[ARTICLE TO GO TO]] {{R from shortcut}}
The {{R from shortcut}} just categorizes the redirect page into a special category of shortcuts.
Typically, shortcuts will be created to AoPS Wiki policy pages and their respective talk pages, though other non-main namespaces that are often traversed also can have shortcuts. Table of general shortcuts:
| A: | AoPS Wiki: |
| AT: | AoPS Wiki talk: |
| CAT: | Category: |
| T: | Template: |
Afterwards, go to the article which the redirect heads to, and at the top of the page add the code
{{shortcut|[[REDIRECT1]]}}
For additional redirects, use
{{shortcut|[[REDIRECT1]]<br>[[REDIRECT2]]<br>[[REDIRECT3]]}}
This way readers can be informed of the actual shortcuts.
Use
The typical way to use a shortcut is to just enter the shortcut into the search box and hitting "Search". It is also possible to substitute the shortcut name directly into the URL. Shortcuts are case-insensitive.
This article is a tutorial about the AoPSWiki or AoPS Forum.
