A '''shortcut''' in the '''[[Wikipedia:Project namespace|Wikipedia namespace]]''' is a specialized type of [[Help:Redirect|redirect]] page that can be used to quickly and directly access a project page or one of its sections. Lists of available shortcuts can be found at:
* [[WP:WP]] = [[Wikipedia:List of shortcuts]]
* [[WP:WPR]] = [[Wikipedia:List of shortcuts/Project shortcuts]]
* [[WP:PORTCUT]] = [[Wikipedia:List of shortcuts/Portal shortcuts]]
* [[WT:WT]] = [[Wikipedia:Shortcuts to talk pages]]

A Wikipedia shortcut can be entered into the [[search box]] to quickly bring you to a project page. For example, you can type '''WP:R''' into the search box and then click the '''Go''' [[button (computing)|button]], to get to the '''Wikipedia:Redirect''' project page, instead of having to type in the complete phrase.
Alternatively, you can use a shortcut in the [[URL]] (web address). For example, you are currently viewing the '''Wikipedia:
Shortcuts are presented in all capital letters ([[ALL CAPS]]); however, the search box is [[case-insensitive]] (as opposed to using the URL method, which requires matching the capitalization of the shortcut itself).

Shortcuts are often used on talk pages in their abbreviated form, without any [[WP:PIPE|piped links]], decreasing [[readability]] for the general reader. For example, some editors are familiar with the bulk of the [[WP:WP|Wikipedia namespace shortcuts]], even recognizing what they stand for on sight; however, others are faced with pages full of incomprehensible jargon, the meanings of which are not immediately decipherable, if the reader happens to be offline.
While shortcuts can help with linking, it is best, when referring to a project page, to be mindful of the general reader and not use the shortcuts as a title, without piping their links. For example, the piped link: '''<nowiki>WP:SHC|shortcuts</nowiki>''', gives readers an idea of the subject of the target page, while just using the abbreviation: '''WP:SHC''', is unintelligible to those unfamiliar with the term.
