Many of the pages in the [[Wikipedia:Project namespace|Wikipedia namespace]] have specialized redirects called "shortcuts" that can be entered into the search box. Most shortcuts start with WP: followed by a capitalized abbreviation of the page name. Some common shortcuts are: [[WP:HELP]], [[WP:WELCOME]], [[WP:IMAGE]], [[WP:5P]], and of course, [[WP:TIP]]. A semi-complete list of shortcuts is available at [[Wikipedia:Shortcuts]]. |
|||
The shortcut to the main MOS guideline page is [[WP:MOS]]. To add the MOS template to your user or talk page, place <code><nowiki>{{style}}</nowiki></code> on there. |
|||
A shortcut can be used in the searchbox or in a link. |

Any suggestions for improvement or changes to the MOS guideline begins with discussion and consensus at the [[Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style|MOS talk page]]. |

To jump to the talk page of a page with a shortcut, start with "WT:" instead of "WP:". |
