Template:Databank2/doc

This template allows you to easily link to entries on any page. It works by switching the parameter given with the appropriate template - otherwise, it defaults to the pagename. If you are familiar with Template:Recipe2, it works the same way, except without using a parameter name.

Same-Page Link
The Databank2 template allows you to place a template for a page's databank entry directly on the page without using a parameter. Note that in extremely rare cases, this method will only work for Fauna, Flora, and Craftables - even then, there are some pages that still won't work, notably the Pipes page.

HTML
Scenario: this HTML is used on the Laser Cutter page.

Off-Page Link
Many entries' subjects do not have their own page, especially Data Downloads. When linking to these kinds of entries or just linking an entry from a different page, the first parameter must be filled.

HTML
This HTML will work on any page.

Editing
Though it may look intimidating, editing an entry is actually very simple. The template uses Template:Databank to create each entry (documentation can be found on the respective page). To add a new entry, simply add the following HTML to the page. Fill out the Entry Name and all parameters as necessary - the image parameter can be left out entirely if the entry does not have an associated image. If you are confused, use another entry in the template as an example.
