View source for Template:Link/Documentation

==Purpose==
Template used to automatically insert and format a link to a specified media page, by specifying the corresponding media type (Drama, Game, Manga, Movie, Novel, OVA, Series, TV) as the first parameter, followed by the wiki's established [[Guidelines:Media Abbreviations|media abbreviation]] as the second parameter. This is strongly preferred over linking to the page with standard brackets.

For a list of all compatible abbreviations, see the [[Guidelines:Media Abbreviations#List of Abbreviations|list of abbreviations]].

==Usage==
The displayed link can be changed to clarify the corresponding media type by adding a <code>+</code> or a <code>-</code> immediately after the abbreviation. A <code>+</code> will add the media type in parentheses to the link, while a <code>-</code> will add the type in lowercase. For examples: <code><nowiki>{{Link|Series|LB+}}</nowiki></code> will render as {{Link|Series|LB+}}, while <code><nowiki>{{Link|Series|LB-}}</nowiki></code> will render as {{Link|Series|LB-}}. The former is best used for tooltips while the latter is preferred for sentences.
