Creating shortcuts

This is an example, in practice a shortcut WM:BABEL for Meta:Babel saving two keystrokes would be pointless.

Edit page WM:BABEL like this:

#REDIRECT [[Meta:Babel]] [[Category:Shortcuts]]

Maybe add a sort key to the category, but don't forget that WM: is no real namespace, specifying {{PAGENAME}} is redundant, because it's the default sort order in the main namespace.

For further technical and other considerations compare WP:SHORT (but the main point is that this link to a shortcut elsewhere works).
