Usage

Template idea for the prefix "Media:"

Media: vs. :File:

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
Media: Media:Alternate screen.png A green check mark, used to indicate when something is true or applicable. A red "X" mark, used to indicate when something is false or not applicable.
:File: File:Alternate screen.png A red "X" mark, used to indicate when something is false or not applicable. A green check mark, used to indicate when something is true or applicable.

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