 To create a "debfiles" [[shortcut|shortcuts]] that takes a package name, you
 could just hardcode the architecture and distribution:
 
-    \[[shortcut name=debfiles url="http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=%s&searchmode=filelist&case=insensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386"]]
-    \[[debfiles ikiwiki]]
+    \[[!shortcut name=debfiles url="http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=%s&searchmode=filelist&case=insensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386"]]
+    \[[!debfiles ikiwiki]]
 
 But what if you could have them as optional parameters instead?  The syntax
 for the invocation should look like this:
 
-    \[[debfiles ikiwiki dist=testing]]
+    \[[!debfiles ikiwiki dist=testing]]
 
 Some possible syntax choices for the shortcut definition:
 
-    \[[shortcut name=debfiles url="http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=%s&searchmode=filelist&case=insensitive&version=%(dist)s&arch=%(arch)s" dist="unstable" arch="i386"]]
-    \[[shortcut name=debfiles url="http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=%s&searchmode=filelist&case=insensitive&version=%(dist=unstable)s&arch=%(arch=i386)s"]]
-    \[[shortcut name=debfiles url="http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=%s&searchmode=filelist&case=insensitive&version=%{dist=unstable}&arch=%{arch=i386}"]]
-    \[[shortcut name=debfiles url="http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=$*&searchmode=filelist&case=insensitive&version=${dist=unstable}&arch=${arch=i386}"]]

 Well, you can already do this kind of thing with templates. Invocation does
 look different:
 
-    \[[template id=debfiles package=ikiwiki dist=testing]]
+    \[[!template id=debfiles package=ikiwiki dist=testing]]
