Template:Service link/doc

Overview

Creates a link to a service's page.

The template validates that you have correctly spelled the service's name, and it automatically looks up and includes the icon for you. Any links returned by this template should have articles and not be redlinks.

Parameters

Service

The name of the service is the only required parameter. Use it as it appears in-game; a missing or misspelled name will result in an error.

If you do not wish to write the code name=, you may skip that, but you must specify the service before any other parameters.

Parameter	Type	Description
name	string	Required. The name of the service, as it appears in the game.

Output overrides

All of these parameters are optional and change how the link is formatted.

Parameter	Type	Description
size	string	The size of the icon to display. Choose one of the following: none small medium large huge (same as large for this template) The default is small, suitable for paragraphs.
display	string	If you include display=notext only the icon will be rendered.

Specialization links that are written into paragraphs should use the small icon, which is the default.

Examples

Basic usage

{{Service link|Education}}

Makes a simple link to the  Education article with a small icon for use in-paragraphs like this one. Please do not use icons larger than this in paragraphs or it will push the lines further apart, decreasing readability.

{{Service link|Education|size=medium}}

Yields a moderately sized icon, suitable for use in lists and tables:

 Education

{{Service link|Education|size=large}}

Yields a larger icon for good recognition for use in tables with space that allows it:

 Education

{{Service link|Education|size=huge}}

Yields a very large icon, suitable for headlining tables and sections that feature this service:

 Education

Other examples

{{Service link|Religion|none}}

Yields only the label Religion, without an icon. This is a great alternative after using the regular link with the small icon in a paragraph, to avoid overwhelming the reader with icons.

{{Service link|Religion|large|display=notext}}

Yields only the icon, for situations where the meanings are clear but space is limited:

{{Service link|Religion|size=gigantic}}

Specifying an icon size that is not recognized does not return an error. Instead, it defaults to the small icon like this:  Religion

Errors

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