Further template category notes

This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces.

To add a template to this category:

If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add
[[Module:Shortcut/doc]]
to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add
<noinclude>[[Module:Shortcut/doc]]</noinclude>
to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This category is an index of templates which use TemplateStyles. It is automatically populated by {{Uses TemplateStyles}}.

This module makes a box showing the shortcut links to a page.
