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
:File:	File:Alternate screen.png

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