The following documentation is transcluded from Template:Spike's/doc:

UsageEdit

This template is used to link to the Spike's Star Trek Page website entries. A variable is required giving the end path to the article in question, and a second variable can be used to alter the linking text.

If no initial variable is given, the link will go to the main webpage, such as:

{{Spike's}}

Which would produce:

Spike's Star Trek Page

To link to an article, for example the one about Starfleet uniforms starting in 2373, you would have a template call as such:

{{Spike's|uniforms/2273-2277/uniforms.htm}}

This would produce:

[1]

If text is desired, such as "Starfleet uniforms 2373-", the following format should be used:

{{Spike's|uniforms/2273-2277/uniforms.htm|Starfleet uniforms 2373-}}

This would produce:

Starfleet uniforms 2373-

If you wish the link to be formatted as an external link, for example on the Starfleet uniform (2373) page, the following format should be used:

{{Spike's|uniforms/2273-2277/uniforms.htm||external}}

This would produce:

Starfleet uniform (2373) at Spike's Star Trek Page

If you wish the external link to display different text, the following format should be used:

{{Spike's|uniforms/2273-2277/uniforms.htm|Starfleet uniforms 2373-|external}}

This would produce:

Starfleet uniforms 2373- at Spike's Star Trek Page
