Template:Media link

From Final Fantasy Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Usage[edit]

Template idea for the prefix Media:.

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 a red link is detected
Media: Media:Chocobo FFX artwork.jpg
Media:aeilsdfilasjdl.png
Check mark.svg X mark.svg Check mark.svg
:File: File:Chocobo FFX artwork.jpg
File:aeilsdfilasjdl.png
X mark.svg Check mark.svg X mark.svg

That's what this template addresses by bring the best of both worlds together. This template should be used in main articles only!
