and would like to encourage you to help adding such markers for
important extensions or extensions you maintain, too.
Will find a way to make that case-insensitive. Currently, shortcutnames
are uppercase. Personally, I would prefer to have the shortcuts working
case-insensitively, and also printed the shortcutnames in lower-case,
but this is more a style and guideline question.
Eww no, shortcuts should be avoided where possible, they are basically
pointless for us and they don't serve any decent purpose apart from
removing "extension:" from the url which is not something we should be
doing (depending on what shortcuts people make), we should be
encouraging people to use the proper urls because they are more likely
to be permanent.
Also they are confusing to some newer people where the url != the page
title which is out standard convention with mediawiki.

Really, I don't see the need for all these Wikipedia-esque templates.
