Shortcuts are used to be able to easier link to certain pages in the "Alone in the Dark Wiki" namespace, typically policy and guideline pages. Shortcuts are simply redirects which all start with AITDW: followed by a number of letters in upper case. The letters should match what they link to to a certain degree; avoid completely random combinations.
All available shortcuts can be found in the list below or in Category:Shortcuts.
Setting up a shortcut[]
Create a new page with the proper name ("Alone in the Dark Wiki:<shortcut>") and then insert:
#REDIRECT [[name of target#AITDW:{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]
[[Category:Shortcuts]]
{{shortcut}} should then be placed either at the top of the page or in the section you want the shortcut to point to. If the template is already present in the location where you wanted to put it, simply add your new shortcut to it.

Namespace shortcuts[]
In addition to shortcuts which link directly to certain pages, there are also a few abbreviations for namespaces. "AW:" can be used as a shorter version of "Alone in the Dark Wiki:" and "AITDWT:" translates to "Alone in the Dark Wiki talk:".
