Shortcut[edit]

What happened to the shortcut to welcome templates? I use that quite frequently! Lyrl^Talk _C 16:42, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting[edit]

I don't know whose decision it was, but the list is partially ordered alphabetically by the shortcuts instead of the pages they lead to, and it's not even a proper sorting in that way, either. It seems to be a mixture of page and shortcut sorting. In any case, I am restoring (if it has ever existed, that is) a full ascending alphabetical order by page.

I have now noticed that the table is automatically sortable. However, this still does not explain the mixed order that existed before. In any case, I have now corrected it; anyone who wishes to see a proper alphabetic order by shortcut can still do so. Waltham, The Duke of 02:08, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I agree with you that the list items should be stored sorted in page name order. It was confusing that it was not when I inserted some pages some days ago, hard to find where to insert each page name, but I was lazy and didn't fix it then. Thanks Waltham.

Well, that's one problem solved. Now we just have to add several dozens of missing shortcuts; for some reason, people add their projects' shortcuts to WP:WPR but fail to add their talk pages' shortcuts here. Waltham, The Duke of 23:02, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
