This is a Wikipedia maintenance category.

This category is automatically populated by the template {{shortcut}} and its sister templates. (Like the white box you see to the right.) Pages that feed the first parameter to those boxes in the wrong way are put in this category. This is so we can easily find those pages and fix them.

The two most common fixes that need to be done are:

• {{shortcut|[[WP:A]]}} – Should be changed to {{shortcut|WP:A}}
• {{shortcut|[[WP:A]]<br>[[WP:B]]}} – Should be changed to {{shortcut|WP:A|WP:B}}

That is, don't use brackets [[ ]] around the parameters. And don't use <br> tags, instead feed each shortcut as a separate parameter to the template.

If you don't find a {{{{#if:shortcut|shortcut| tlf|...}}{{#ifeq:x|| |{{{2}}} | }}{{#ifeq:x|| |{{{3}}} | }}{{#ifeq:x|| |{{{4}}} | }}{{#ifeq:x|| |{{{5}}} | }}{{#ifeq:x|| |{{{6}}} | }}{{#ifeq:x|| |{{{7}}} | }}{{#ifeq:x|| |{{{8}}} | }}{{#ifeq:x|| |{{{9}}} | }}}} box on a talk page that is marked with this category, see if there is an "assessment box" at the top of the page with a "[show]/[hide]" button. Some assessment boxes have a shortcut box inside their to-do list.

Subcategories that get listed here usually are not subcategories in the normal sense. Instead they happen to use a shortcut box in the wrong way and thus need fixing too.
