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 a red link has been detected |
---|---|---|---|---|
Media:
|
Media:MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png Media:aeilsdfilasjdl.png |
File:Check mark.svg | File:X mark.svg | File:Check mark.svg |
:File:
|
File:MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png File:aeilsdfilasjdl.png |
File:X mark.svg | File:Check mark.svg | File:X mark.svg |
This template addresses these differences by bringing the best of both worlds together. Please note that this template should be used in main articles only.
