To create your own shortcut:
 
 
# Type in the shortcut name in the search box. Hit "Go".
 
# On the search page, click the hyperlink: "create this page".
 
# As all you are doing is creating a redirect page, type the following on the edit page:
 
#* <tt><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[article name]]</nowiki></tt>
 
# In the summary box, input a reason for what you're doing.
 
#* Example: <tt>created shortcut to ''article name''</tt>
 
# Preview the changes. Make sure the hyperlink is blue, not red. Remember that red links are "broken", because the article doesn't exist yet under that title.
 
# If everything is okay, save the page.
