=== Step 3:Finalizing The Policy ===
=== Step 3: Finalizing the Policy ===
When the policy has been approved, replace {{t|draft-policy}} with {{t|approved-policy}}, and mark it on any related discussions. This doesn't mean that the policy can't be talked about more; it just we need to know what conversation(s) happened before, during and after it's approval.
In order to finalize the policy, it should be known around the wiki, and become easily accessible. It can easily be located with shortcuts. Each policy page has a shortcut for easier linking and typing.
 
In order to finalize the policy, it needs to get known around the wiki, be easily [[Lylat Wiki:Accessible|Accessible]] and [[Lylat Wiki:Findability|findable]]. But how does this get done?
 
One of the ways for easy findability is with Shortcuts. Each policy page (along with [[:Category:Community Pages|Community Pages]], and  [[:Category:Usage Pages|Usage Pages]]) get a shortcut for easier linking and typing.

Each shortcut is a small word, symbol and/or letter combination template that automatically places a link to the page through redirects. So for example, this page is called Lylat Wiki:Draft Policies. To link to it, you would usually type {{link|Lylat Wiki:Draft Policies}}. But with a shortcut set up, all you need to type is [[LW:Draft]], and it will automatically but the needed text in for you.

Please note, just like each policy page starts with <code>Lylat Wiki:</code> Each shortcut needs to start with <code>LW:</code>.

Shortccuts not only in typing, but in spelling of an page title, as we can have multiple shortcuts all with different ways to "spell" the page's title, and they all point back to the same. The problem with this then, is there could be more than one page with could fit a given shortcut. When you are creating a new one, how do you tell if a specific combination is used?

This is answered at our shortcuts page: [[Lylat Wiki:Shortcuts]]. Here, you will find every shortcut that has been registered, by spelling and shortcut group. Register your shortcut here by placing {{link|<code>Shortcut name</code>}} in the alphabetical listing.

Once you have the title stored somewhere, click the template link (if there is more than one, you can return to do the others). Copy the title of the template (excluding the <code>Template:</code> namespace, and put it between <nowiki>[[</nowik> and <nowiki>]]</nowiki> on the page itself, and end with the following:
