Media: vs. :File:: Grammar fixes

New page

<includeonly>{{#ifexist:File:{{{1}}}|[[:File:{{{1}}}{{#if:{{{2|}}}|{{!}}{{{2}}}}}]]}}[[Media:{{{1}}}{{#ifexist:File:{{{1}}}||{{!}}{{#if:{{{2|}}}|{{{2}}}|File:{{{1}}}}}}}]]{{#ifexist:File:{{{1}}}|}}</includeonly><noinclude>
== Usage ==
Template idea for the prefix <code>Media:</code>.

=== Media: vs. :File: ===
Both prefixes display a link instead of embedding the image itself but there are some key differences:

{| class="wikitable"
! Prefix
! Sample
! [[Special:UnusedFiles]] prevention
! Provides a file page link
! Provides a special link to [[Special:Upload]] if a [[red link]] has been detected
|-
! <code>Media:</code>
| [[Media:MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png]] [[Media:aeilsdfilasjdl.png]]
| [[File:Check mark.svg|25px]]
| [[File:X mark.svg|25px]]
| [[File:Check mark.svg|25px]]
|-
! <code>:File:</code>
| [[:File:MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png]] [[:File:aeilsdfilasjdl.png]]
| [[File:X mark.svg|25px]]
| [[File:Check mark.svg|25px]]
| [[File:X mark.svg|25px]]
|}

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'''.

=== Use cases ===
{{tem|media link}} testing for bugs:
{| class="wikitable"
! [[mw:Main Page|MediaWiki]] parsing
! Code
|-
! {{{{PAGENAME}}|MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png}}
| <code><nowiki>{{media link|MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! {{{{PAGENAME}}|MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png|}}
| <code><nowiki>{{media link|MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png|}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! {{{{PAGENAME}}|MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png|test}}
| <code><nowiki>{{media link|MK8 Electrodrome Alternate Screen.png|test}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! {{{{PAGENAME}}||test}}
| <code><nowiki>{{media link||test}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! {{{{PAGENAME}}||}}
| <code><nowiki>{{media link||}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! {{{{PAGENAME}}|}}
| <code><nowiki>{{media link|}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! {{{{PAGENAME}} }}
| <code><nowiki>{{media link}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! {{{{PAGENAME}}|aeilsdfilasjdl.png}}
| <code><nowiki>{{media link|aeilsdfilasjdl.png}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! {{{{PAGENAME}}|aeilsdfilasjdl.png|}}
| <code><nowiki>{{media link|aeilsdfilasjdl.png|}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! {{{{PAGENAME}}|aeilsdfilasjdl.png|test}}
| <code><nowiki>{{media link|aeilsdfilasjdl.png|test}}</nowiki></code>
|}

=== Other ===
Uses <code>{{tem|!}}</code>. Also hides media prefix usage with <nowiki></nowiki> tag and a simple CSS code. Special code implemented if a red link results from the file string specified.
