Linking templates are templates designed to insert a link (or links) into an ISFDB wiki page. They can serve as a shorthand for a link, so that the user need not remember the precise form of the link target. Linking templates may also format the display of the link is a preferred or standardized way.
Linking templates may create:
- a wiki-link to another page in the wiki;
- a link to a record in the ISFDB itself; or
- a link to an external site
Many linking templates use a parameter to specify what is to be linked to or how the link will be displayed. Some take no parameters. Most are documented on their respective talk pages.
The complete list of linking templates may be found in Category:Linking templates.
