Thanks for the explanations given. I wanted to have the legacy links used, but not shown as legacy, as nobody is chasing a Legacy:Squirrel for example, but a Squirrel, regardless of the game. Based on this, I wanted to hide all the "Legacy" words from the descriptions as in-game, while having the actual pages remain legacy. That way new users won't be confused and unable to understand everything as it would be if it was like this:

Issues with using this template

Solved issues with using this template

Hi. This template is very useful, but in list lines the text wraps:

This is a normal line

  • This is a list line
  1. This is a numeric list line
This is another line


How to solve this? or how can I use in this cases? :?

I tried using literal 'span', but would be great using directly this template. :D


And should be useful to add an parameter 'alias' for translated pages using link parameter, for example. I used in Es:Mana Seed like this to emulate effect: [[Es:Mana Seed|{{H:title|'Mana Seed' en el juego|Semilla de Maná}}]] and looks Semilla de Maná

Hmm... this is stupid and sorry, I can't help.

I noticed another problem with it: it seems that you can't rename a link of a section of a wiki page (like Skills#Magic Skills -> Magic Skills) like this:

{{H:title|link=yes|An overview of all skills, including magic skills that will improve your spells of the particular magic school.|Skills#Magic Skills|Magic Skills}} -> Skills#Magic Skills, but luckily above you showed a way how it works:

[[Skills#Magic Skills|{{H:title|link=no|An overview of all skills, including magic skills that will improve your spells of the particular magic school.|Magic Skills}}]] -> Magic Skills

(Just in case someone else has the same problems)

How it worked for me

Thanks for the explanations given. I wanted to have the legacy links used, but not shown as legacy, as nobody is chasing a Classic:Squirrel for example, but a Squirrel, regardless of the game. Based on this, I wanted to hide all the "Classic" words from the descriptions as in-game, while having the actual pages remain legacy. That way new users won't be confused and unable to understand everything as it would be if it was like this:

Classic:This Classic:is Classic:a Classic:demonstration Classic:of Classic:how Classic:awkward Classic:it Classic:is Classic:to Classic:use Classic:the Classic:wiki Classic:when Classic:all Classic:the Classic:words Classic:have Classic:"Classic" Classic:before Classic:them.

Here is the deciphered text:

This is a demonstration of how awkward it is to use the wiki when all the words have "Classic" before them.

To do this, when it came to this template, I found an initial problem. I'll highlight it below, and show what I did, with help from my fellow gamers. :)

The original line showed this (you'll have to look at it in edit mode to see the code):

Classic:Magic

...or at least something similar (I had to edit this one to Classic:Magic from Classic_Magic)

I wanted to keep the hoverover, and keep the link to go to the Classic:Magic page, but hide the word "Classic".

After fiddling around a few times, HoraK suggested I use the boxed-in Magic. This was a good idea, but I hadn't changed the "link=yes" section to "link=no". So it wasn't working, and in fact, it wasn't even displaying the newly added information. Once the link was changed to a "no", then...VOILA!!!...it worked beautifully...but man...the hover text disappeared.

Here is how the section looked after finishing it:

NOW we were in business, so I went ahead and edited the other links. Very happy now.
