Template:Media link

From the Wiki of Mana, the Mana encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search

Usage[edit]

Template idea for the prefix Media:. The template was originally from the Super Mario Wiki.

Media: vs. :File:[edit]

Both prefixes display a link instead of embedding the image itself but there are some key differences:

Prefix Sample Special:UnusedFiles prevention Provides a file page link Provides a special link to Special:Upload if red link is detected
Media: Media:Rabite LOM artwork.jpg
Media:aeilsdfilasjdl.png
Check mark.png X mark.png Check mark.png
:File: File:Rabite LOM artwork.jpg
File:aeilsdfilasjdl.png
X mark.png Check mark.png X mark.png

That's what this template addresses by bring both together. This template should only be used for main articles.

Usage[edit]

Uses {{!}}. Also hides media prefix usage with <span> tag and a simple CSS code. Special code implemented if a red link results from the file string specified.
