#2 • {{file link}} Template, Wildgoosespeeder (ended January 8)

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:MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png
Media:aeilsdfilasjdl.png
Check mark.svg X mark.svg Check mark.svg
:File: File:MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png
File:aeilsdfilasjdl.png
X mark.svg Check mark.svg X 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!
