Template:Advanced link

This template is an improved and simplified version of template Template:Software.

Note:Two template styling options (colored text) were left as something that could be used in some situations, but not everywhere.

Note:All links are colored in the color of the visited link, since external links and links to Wikipedia become more difficult to read after visiting. If you have a better color for this situation, simply replace all occurrences of the color #5081D1 in the template code.

Parameters

• {{{1}}}, {{{2}}} – specially prepared code is written into these parameters for the convenient ability to select styles and display type in child templates (see example below).
• {{{name}}} – The name that will be displayed. It is recommended to use the String template in this parameter to add a name translation.
• {{{link}}} – The link that will be used. It is recommended to combine this parameter with #switch: if you want to add the ability to specify more than one link. For example, links to categories related to this game.
• {{{icon}}} – An icon that will be displayed next to the game name. Also clickable. You only need to enter the name and format of the image, for example, SomeImage.png
• {{{icon size}}} – icon size (default is 16px). Only accepts px. In this parameter the same parameter is specified for the ability to specify the size of the icon in child templates.
• {{{color}}} – The color that is used for certain styles of this template. Supports hex, rgb, hsl, etc.
