Lineoptional

Usage[edit]

If you want to indicate that {{test1}} has shortcuts named {{vand1}}, {{uw-vandal1}}, and {{uw-test1}}, then you could use one of:

{{template shortcut|uw-v1}}
{{template shortcut|uw-v1|uw-vand1}}
{{template shortcut|uw-v1|uw-vand1|uw-vandal1}}

Internationalisation[edit]

This template has its header name "Shortcut" or "Shortcuts" translated with the {{Shortcut caption}}. The colon, word separators (usually space) and list separator (usually a comma) are translated in {{colon}} and {{comma}}.

The language used (both for text and the box’s floating side) is by default the language of the current page, but it can be overridden using the |uselang=language code parameter.
