{{template shortcut|wli|clear=right}}
This template lets you easily cite Wikipedia pages (usually policy or guideline shortcuts) without [[All caps#Shouting|shouting]]. By default, the template will display your argument in italics and without the prefix (WP:, MOS:, etc.), and link to the all-caps version of the argument, with spaces removed. If no prefix is specified, the template assumes a WP: prefix (unless a third argument is present; see below).

The presence of a second argument will cause the template to not italicize your argument (for using shortcut phrases as words rather than shortcuts). The presence of a third argument will turn off all pre-processing of the link (removing spaces, inferring WP: prefix, making all-caps), and can be used to directly link to article pages or pages without prefixes.

Before:
: Wikipedia is [[WP:NOTAVOTE]], and additionally you should probably read [[WP:CANVASSING]], [[WP:MEATPUPPETRY]], and [[WP:NOTTRUTH]]. Thank you, [[User:Example|ShoutingEditor]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 20:41, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

After:
: Wikipedia is {{wli|not a vote|n}}, and additionally you should probably read {{wli|Canvassing}}, {{wli|Meatpuppetry}}, and {{wli|Not Truth}}. Thank you, [[User:Example|PoliteEditor]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) 20:41, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
