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 | Provides a special link to Special:Upload if red link is detected |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Media:
|
Media:Alternate screen.png Media:aeilsdfilasjdl.png |
|
|
|
:File:
|
File:Alternate screen.png File:aeilsdfilasjdl.png |
|
|
|
That's what this template addresses by bring the best of both worlds together. This template should be used in main articles only!
Use Cases
{{MediaLink}} testing for bugs:
| MediaWiki parsing | Code |
|---|---|
| File:Alternate screen.png | {{MediaLink|Alternate screen.png}}
|
| File:Alternate screen.png | {{MediaLink|Alternate screen.png|}}
|
| test | {{MediaLink|Alternate screen.png|test}}
|
| [[Media:|test]] | {{MediaLink||test}}
|
| File:aeilsdfilasjdl.png | {{MediaLink|aeilsdfilasjdl.png}}
|
| File:aeilsdfilasjdl.png | {{MediaLink|aeilsdfilasjdl.png|}}
|
| test | {{MediaLink|aeilsdfilasjdl.png|test}}
|
Other
Uses {{!}}. Also hides media prefix usage with <span> tag and a simple CSS code. Special code implemented if a red link results from the file string specified.
