Hi! I'm new to creating and editing pages. I saw that you made some minor revisions to my MoM pages. I was curious what the difference between <code><nowiki>[[Seeker of Darkness KHMOM|Seeker of Darkness]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{c|Seeker of Darkness|mom}}</nowiki></code> is and why one is preferred over the other. I want to make sure I uphold the standard of the rest of the wiki. Thank you for your time.--{{User:SoRiKa/Sig}} 14:51, 17 August 2023 (UTC) | Hi! I'm new to creating and editing pages.

:Thanks for asking. The answer's not immediately apparent, since to a reader, there is no difference; both links function identically. | |||
:When editing, we typically use the {{t|c}} template for efficiency. The template will automatically add the parenthesis to the link destination without altering how the text appears, allowing us to link to something like "[[Seeker of Darkness (KHMOM)]]" without needing to write out the name twice in a piped link, like so: <code>{{t|c|article title|part in parentheses}}</code>. So it's mostly a stylistic preference for the wiki, but also if we ever change how we format article titles, using the template would allow us to change all of the links at once rather than editing every individual page. | |||
:Relatedly, if you ever need to link to a "Game:" article, there's a similar template we use to save time and space. Instead of writing, for example, <code><nowiki>[[Game:Guardando nel buio|Guardando nel buio]]</nowiki></code>, you can use the {{t|ns}} template to write <code><nowiki>{{ns|game|Guardando nel buio}}</nowiki></code>. It has the format <code>{{t|ns|namespace|article title}}</code>. | |||
