Upon testing, it turns out that this template can take more than 10 shortcuts. I don’t know what the maximum number is. Did I misunderstand something, or should the documentation be edited as necessary? -Colathewikian (talk) 06:18, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-02-02T06:18:00.000Z","author":"Colathewikian","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Colathewikian-2021-02-02T06:18:00.000Z-\u201cTake_up_to_ten_(10)_shortcuts_as_parameters\u201d_Don\u2019t_think_so..?","replies":["c-Nardog-2021-02-02T06:30:00.000Z-Colathewikian-2021-02-02T06:18:00.000Z","c-ClydeFranklin-20230721065600-Colathewikian-2021-02-02T06:18:00.000Z"]}}-->
I assume it's been outdated since it was turned into a module. Removed.

For the record, my tests showed around 9 quadrillion parameters, but that was using {{shortcut|9000000000000000=WP:FOO}}. It would probably break a lot sooner if you actually put that many shortcuts...

This edit request to Module:Shortcut has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
Please place the shortcut list div inside of the anchor list div, instead of after it. Currently, the browser (Firefox) scrolls not to the box, but about two line heights above it. In the case of MOS:DABBLUE, this makes it look like the shortcut points to the bullet item above the intended one.

This could be useful on more than just help pages.
On a lot of help pages there is this:
{{Wikipedia how to|Example. Link2. Link3. Link4}}
{{Wiki markup}}
But {{Wikipedia how to}} is broken, and does not wrap around the shortcut. So in portrait view in a cell phone the how-to text looks weird with a long column of text and a lot of wasted whitespace to the right and left of it. Like the following. I wrapped a narrow table around it so you could see the problem without having to go to your cell phone. Here is how it looks in my iphone SE 2020:
In the meantime there is an easy fix by putting the shortcut(s) below it. But it needs to be in a wider box. So that it takes up less vertical space in the right sidebar. I used a table below, not the shortcut template.
