Error: no shortcuts were specified and the |msg= parameter was not set.

This is the {{template shortcut}} template.

It can be used to show the names of shortcuts to a template.

It can take up to six shortcuts as parameters.

Usage edit

If you want to indicate that {{uw-vandalism1}} has shortcuts named {{uw-v1}}, {{uw-vandal1}}, and {{uw-vand1}}, then you could use one of:

Error: no shortcuts were specified and the |msg= parameter was not set. {{template shortcut|uw-v1}}

Error: no shortcuts were specified and the |msg= parameter was not set. {{template shortcut|uw-v1|uw-vand1}}

Error: no shortcuts were specified and the |msg= parameter was not set. {{template shortcut|uw-v1|uw-vand1|uw-vandal1}}

Additional parameters edit

This template has some additional parameters.

"float=left" makes this template flow to the left of the page instead:

Error: no shortcuts were specified and the |msg= parameter was not set. {{template shortcut|float=left|uw-v1}}

"pre=something", "pre2=something" and "pre3=something" feeds some text to show before the shortcut links but within the braces. This is mostly used to indicate that the template should be used with substitution. Then you can do like this:

Error: no shortcuts were specified and the |msg= parameter was not set. {{template shortcut|pre=subst:|uw-v1|uw-vand1}}

Error: no shortcuts were specified and the |msg= parameter was not set. {{template shortcut|uw-v1|pre2=subst:|uw-vand1|pre3=subst:|uw-vandal1}}
