Editing Template:Shortcut/doc (section)

== Anchors ==
These templates automatically add an [[HTML element#Anchor|anchor]] for each shortcut name parameter. For example, if a shortcut box with the shortcut [[WP:SHORT]] is placed on the page [[Wikipedia:Shortcut]], then the link [[Wikipedia:Shortcut#WP:SHORT]] will take you to the position in the page where that shortcut box is placed.

Examples: [[#WP:SHORT]], and [[MOS:MATH#TONE]]

This makes it easier to create a shortcut for a section of a page, because you can refer to the anchor when creating the shortcut redirect itself. Like this:

:<code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Pagename#WP:SHORT]] {{R from shortcut}}</nowiki></code>
