Template:IL/doc

IL is short for ImageLink (and probably some other things, but this works for a mnemonic).

Meant to simplify combining small images and article backlinks.

• {{IL|Shard of Glim}} ==>
• {{IL|Shard of Glim|30 x}} ==>
• {{IL|Shard of Glim|Appearance=Blue Thing}} ==> Blue Thing
• {{IL|Shard of Glim|Appearance=}} ==> hide the text and only display the image, i.e. . Clicking on it will still lead to the correct article.
• {{IL|Shard of Glim|Size=30px}} ==> (the default image size is 20px, which will be used if you do not specify a Size)
• {{IL|Shard of Glim|Link=}} ==> (clicking the icon takes you to image page, not the linked article)
• {{IL|Shard of Glim|Link=Starveling Cat}} ==> (note that the image now links to Starveling Cat but the text continues to link to Shard of Glim)
• {{IL|Shard of Glim|30 x|Image=Door.png}} ==> (use this override only for cases where you want a different icon to clarify, not if the actual image has changed!)

You can combine the optional prefix and the several named parameters freely, as long as the item/quality/… name comes before the prefix, should you specify one:

• {{IL|Appearance=''Sneaky''|Size=15px|Shadowy}} 15 ==> Sneaky 15
• {{IL|Size=25px|Shard of Glim|30 x|Appearance=Blue Thing}} ==> 30 x  Blue Thing

It is entirely possible and very very likely that many items and qualities are missing a corresponding image link entry. In this case, the image will render with a broken link intentionally:

• {{IL|I made This One up}} ==>

Please help add to the image list if you spot these.
