Note: It's recommended to use {{tl|HeroIcon}}, {{tl|AbilityIcon}}, or {{tl|ItemIcon}} instead, as those templates use [[Module:Icon]] and thus allow for more elaborate functions such as custom previews. PageRef should only be used for icons not covered in those templates, i.e. {{PageRef|Hidden King}} or {{PageRef|Shopkeeper}}.

The code for this template is at [[Module:PageRef]]. The module also lists exceptions for pages that currently do not have an icon uploaded, so that templates such as [[Template:VoiceLineCite]] do not use a broken image link. If an icon for those pages is added, they should be removed from the exceptions list.

In its simplest form: <code><nowiki>{{PageRef|Lash}}</nowiki></code> {{PageRef|Lash}}
Example where the icon doesn't exist: <code><nowiki>{{PageRef|Shopkeeper}}</nowiki></code> {{PageRef|Shopkeeper}}


Using alt_name: <code><nowiki>{{PageRef|Lash|alt_name=Jacob}}</nowiki></code> {{PageRef|Lash|alt_name=Jacob}}
Using alt_name: <code><nowiki>{{PageRef|Lash|alt_name=Jacob}}</nowiki></code> {{PageRef|Lash|alt_name=Jacob}}

Note: Instead of repeated use of <i>alt_file_name</i>, it is recommended to create a redirect at <nowiki>[[<first_parameter>.png]]</nowiki> to <nowiki>[[<alt_file_name>.png]]</nowiki>, allowing the use of the simplest form of PageRef, making it much easier to reference in the future.

If a file does not exist, it will look like
{{PageRef|My cool page}}
To not use the file, use:
<code><nowiki>{{PageRef|My cool page|no_file=true}}</nowiki></code>
{{PageRef|My cool page|no_file=true}}
Using lang with to override language (e.g., Russian):
<code><nowiki>{{PageRef|Lash|lang=/ru}}</nowiki></code>
{{PageRef|Lash|lang=/ru}}
