(contracted; show full)Please note, when creating a shortcut for a category, it is necessary to insert an additional colon (":") at the beginning of the link, as follows:

:<tt><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[:Category:Redirects from shortcut]] {{R from shortcut}}</nowiki></tt>

=== Procedures ===
{{See also|Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages}}

Shortcut class redirects should be tagged with {{tl|R from shortcut}} so they will auto-categorize in [[:
Categoryವರ್ಗ:Redirects from shortcuts]]. Like this:

:<big>'''<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Pagename]] {{R from shortcut}}</nowiki>'''</big>

== Changing shortcuts ==
{{Shortcut|WP:Changing shortcuts}}
Technically that's easy. All it takes is to click on the shortcut wherever it is, on the page it leads to (a shortcut is a redirect) click on the "redirected from" link (forcing <tt>&amp;redirect=no</tt>), edit the target <tt>#REDIRECT [&#91;Wikipedia:Whatever&#93;]</tt>, then add {{Tlx|R from shortcut}} if that expression doesn't already appear.
But there are some potential traps and pitfalls:
#If the shortcut is already listed on [[Wikipedia:List of shortcuts]] or a similar list like [[Wikipedia:Shortcuts to talk pages]], please update that entry showing the new target page.
#If the old target page mentions its shortcut, then that also should be updated, typically in {{Tlx|Shortcut}} or similar [[:Categoryವರ್ಗ:Wikipedia header templates|Wikipedia header templates]].
#If you wish to usurp an existing shortcut that's already in use, you should take into account how active its target page is. For example, if you just created a WikiProject, and want a specific shortcut for it, but the one you want is already in use by another WikiProject, it's generally recommended to post a message on that project's talk page asking the members if you may usurp their shortcut link, even if the project is tagged as {{(contracted; show full)== See also ==
