What is a Wikisource shortcut?

"Shortcuts" in Wikisource are a specialized type of redirection page (see Wikipedia:Redirect and w:meta:Help:Redirect) that can be used to get to a Wikisource project reference page more quickly.

How to use Wikisource shortcuts

A Wikisource shortcut can be entered into the Wikisource search box to quickly bring you to a reference page.
For example, you can type "WS:TM" into the search box and click the "Go" button to get to the Wikisource "Template messages" reference page, instead of having to type "Wikisource:Template messages".

Alternatively, you can use the shortcut in the URL (web address). For example, you are currently viewing the Wikisource:Shortcut page in English. The URL is
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Shortcut
You could get from here another page by replacing "Wikisource:Shortcut" with "WS:R" in the URL (web address) field (followed by "Enter").

Shortcuts are presented in all capital letters ("All-Caps"), but the search box is case-insensitive. For example, in the search box, you can type "ws:r" instead of "WS:R".

However, using the URL method typically requires that you match the capitalization of the shortcut.

For example, placing the shortcut template and substituting SHORT for <X> gives:
