Template:Species link

This template is used like this:

This template calls  in Module:ResourceLink to make icons and short wiki links to a resource's page. The icon can be small, huge, or in between. The small icon is sized appropriately to fit well into in-line text.

This template standardizes the display of icons and resourcesthroughout the wiki and simplifies the amount of writing that is necessary when adding new content pages.

A shortcut template also exists, to make writing a page with many resource links a little easier.

Usage
Use the name of the resource name as it appears in the game. (The background code performs some normalization, but only to catch small mistakes in spacing or apostrophes.)

Giving the template a resource name will result in a text-sized icon and a link to the wiki page for that resource. This is useful in-line with text in paragraphs, where resource icons can still be recognized.

Telling the template what size to make the icon allows the icon to be larger and more distinguishable. This is useful when creating tables where a larger resource icon increases recognition. IF the resource is not known to the data modules behind the scenes, an error will appear.

The default is a small icon, for use in-line with text. You can also use,  ,  , or write   explicitly, to describe the desired size of the icon, as you can see below.

Here are ways to call the template and the expected result:

The following are error messages generated by calling the template incorrectly.

5. With no arguments,  yields:



6. With the name of something that doesn't exist in the game,  yields:



7. With no resource but an icon size,  yields:



Finally, providing an icon size that is not recognized does not break the template.

8. With a valid resource but invalid icon size,  yields:
