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 Check mark.svg X mark.svg
:File: File:Alternate screen.png X mark.svg Check mark.svg

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.
