Template:PageRef

[[|link={{{target}}}|15px]] [[{{{target}}}|{{{target}}}]]

Template documentation [view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Overview

Outputs an icon in svg and a link to the given localized page with an optional alternate display name.

Output will be:
<icon> <pagename>

• Both icon and page name will be hyperlinked to first parameter as the pagename
• Icon should be

  [[File:<pagename>.svg]]

  if the svg file exists, otherwise the .png.
  • The .svg should be both light and dark theme compatible (WIP)
    • It's possible CSS may be used to automatically invert colors, precluding the need for the icon to be theme-compatible
  • The .png should at least be default theme compatible (light)
  • If neither the .svg nor the .png exist, the icon will not be added
• If the first parameter (name) is a hero name in english, it will automatically use the <hero>_MM.png file
  • Otherwise, if the file name is different to the page name (do not use this in excess), the alt_file_name parameter will need to be used

Examples

In its simplest form: {{PageRef|Lash}} [[|link={{{target}}}|15px]] [[{{{target}}}|{{{target}}}]]

Example where the icon doesn't exist: {{PageRef|Shopkeeper}} [[|link={{{target}}}|15px]] [[{{{target}}}|{{{target}}}]]

Using alt_name: {{PageRef|Lash|alt_name=Jacob}} [[|link={{{target}}}|15px]] [[{{{target}}}|{{{target}}}]]

Using alt_link (hover the link to see): {{PageRef|Lash|alt_link=Cold Front}} [[|link={{{target}}}|15px]] [[{{{target}}}|{{{target}}}]]

Using alt_file_name: {{PageRef|Lash|alt_file_name=Cold Front}} [[|link={{{target}}}|15px]] [[{{{target}}}|{{{target}}}]]

Using them all together, note that the first parameter is no longer used and therefore not needed: {{PageRef|alt_name=Cold Front|alt_link=Cold Front|alt_file_name=Cold Front}}

[[|link={{{target}}}|15px]] [[{{{target}}}|{{{target}}}]]

Note: Instead of repeated use of alt_file_name, it is recommended to create a redirect at [[<first_parameter>.png]] to [[<alt_file_name>.png]], 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

[[|link={{{target}}}|15px]] [[{{{target}}}|{{{target}}}]]

To not use the file, use: {{PageRef|My cool page|no_file=true}}

[[|link={{{target}}}|15px]] [[{{{target}}}|{{{target}}}]]

Parameters

Template parameters[Edit template data]

This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Name	name 1	The localized name of the page to link to, also used to determine the icon. Example Lash	String	required
Do not use file	no_file	Do not use any file; also use this parameter when a file doesn't exist. Note that passing 'false' does not make it use a file, the parameter must then be omitted. This is for code efficiency Example true	String	optional
Alternate Name	alt_name	An optional display name to show instead of the page name in the link. Example Jacob	String	optional
Alternate Link	alt_link	An optional link to link to instead of the 1st parameter (name). Example Death Slam	String	optional
Alternate File Name	alt_file_name	An optional way to designate which file to include. Not needed if <first parameter> (name) is the same as the file name. File extension not needed, as it will try to prioritize the .svg first, otherwise use the .png. Example Amber Hand.png	String	optional
Size	size	Size of the icon link, defaulted to '15'px Example 50	Number	optional
